First flight on the new quad

I put the first flight on the new quad today.  It flew fine in the Stabilize mode, but when I switched it to the GPS mode it would head off from where it was hovering.  I finally managed to tip it over and break two props.  After much reading I learned the compass calibration could cause this problem.  The picture is the compass on my new quad, the chip in the middle is about 3/16 of an inch across.  I went round and round with it all afternoon trying to get it to calibrate.  I finally discovered that it was too close to the wiring and I needed to make a mount for it that put it up higher.

Our friend Dennis came by this afternoon with a new Blade 400 helicopter that he needed help setting up.  It had been about a year since I have seen Dennis, so we had a nice visit while I tried to set things up.  I am not really familiar with the programming of a Spectrum transmitter, so Dennis left it for the night.  I did some reading of the transmitter manual and finally got everything moving the right way.
