    DJI Spark compass calibration

    Um. No. Calibrate it when you first set it up, then don't worry about it. If you travel a far distance, like hundreds of miles, calibrate it again before you fly. The RTH point is set as soon as it has stable GPS, so holtneil's narrative won't happen. RTH is not set by calibration.

    All props on backwards. Ooops. My eBay deal of the year video!

    Great find! My first R/C helicopter came in a box as a wreck. Took a couple evenings to get it flying. This was like 1981.

    Drones on Mars

    Lone, your avatar looks like you got it from the wall at the post office. You must have been concentrating on flying when the photo was taken.

    Drones on Mars

    I watched the new Netflix version. Wow, the robot is a scary dude! In the original series, he was more like comic relief. Even as a child, I wondered: "They're lost in space, yet they always have brand-new clothes, and what ever planet they find themselves on, they eat outside?

    Unconventional motor use question

    The idea is the brushless motor doesn't have any commutator to get wet. I'm thinking I would still prefer to keep the motor dry. Maybe magnetically couple it to the wet parts.

    Note to self

    hehe I say that to the cat. The drone, Sylvester, is a "he." The cat, "Mad dog" is a she, but the colonel didn't realize that.

    How To Get Access to the Material That is Applicable to One's Model?

    The DJI drones don't need the compass calibrated very often. Some drones need it done every flight because they have no non-volatile storage on board. I've calibrated Sylvester twice, once when he was new, and once when I thought something was goofy, but it was just me and the spark new what it...
