    Hubsan H501S Pro Advanced model

    I hit RTH and was surprised that the quad flew up before steadying and then descending. It has to reach 20 feet before it does RTH so if yyou are hovering at 10 feet it can be a "wtf" moment.

    Geomagnetism calibration

    Compass calibration? Usually it involves facing it out and moving the quad in a circle and then facing it down and moving it in another circle But individual drones may have extra steps. GPS calibration on mine involves pressing the GPS button and waiting for it to acquire satellites.
