Compass calibration confusion

[matty4]

Hi all. Done a few calibrations in the past just by reading the instructions in the go 4 app. When it comes to the second part, it says to point the spark nose down and rotate 360, no problem there, but, the picture description, has the spark showing in a horizontal not vertical position. Which one is correct? Sometimes it takes 2 full 360 turns with the camera pointing down for it to say calibration complete. Cheers in advance.

Nose pointing to the ground is the correct orientation.

Nose pointing to the ground is the correct orientation.

Thanks for that. Appreciate your answer, cheers

Either position will work. Most people point the nose down though. You'll need to turn a full 360 and then some to complete each step of the calibration process.

go to one spot to the cal then fly there that simple.. you only need to calibrate if theres a problem or you constantly change take off spots or locations
