[QUOTE="monty.roman, post: 80901, member: 12865"] I've experienced the compass error mid-air twice during my 170 flights and it's truly very unpleasant experience. It could be caused by many reasons like a big amount of iron in surrounding rocks or solar eruptions (high Kp index) or the Spark might have been stored in some spot where the magnetic radiation is high but I don't believe it was just because of you haven't calibrated before flight. Personally I calibrate only when some error pops out or when I notice unwanted yaw without any stick input. Anyway you should do it now just to be sure but do it in some open area with literally nothing around (including some keys or other metallic stuff in your pocket or controller in your hand). Also you can check the current level of compass interference even mid-air in the Go4 app itself in Sensors state under Aircraft configuration. If it jumps above 110, I would be careful (been flying near TV transmission tower last weekend and watched the interference all the way up). [/QUOTE]
