Compass calibration (please help)

[Alexvtt]

I took my SOLO apart so I could paint the shell and when I put it all back together it's asking me to calibrate compass and no matter what I do it won't calibrate. What did I do wrong?

It sounds like the Compass wire did not get re-connected properly. Have you checked the connection with the leg that has the compass?

 

[Alexvtt]

I will check that as soon a possible and let you know what happens. Also.. Is it really sensitive when calibrating? I tried doing it in my front yard and I'm thinking it isn't working because there's metal, and cement interference.!

I can vouch that it is harder to do when done around the house. With the houses, trees, and possible metal in the concrete and street, I never got a good calibration. I always do mine when needed, from the field in as open of an area as I can. Hope this helps, and good luck.

If it ever stops raining and flooding I will go out to an open field and hopefully this will fix the issue. Thanks again!

That can definitely put a wet blanket on flying. Sorry for the pun.... my bad....

I know you all are getting hammered up there. I hope you and yours stay safe with no damage. I love your part of the country.

Hey, neighbor!

 

[Chuck]

I just wish we were a bit closer. I would love to fly in your neck of the woods.

I'm located in Portland, OR where it isn't AS bad as some areas around me but the roads are still flooded and a couple of land slides, hopefully no more lives are lost.

Let's hope not. You all stay safe.
