[QUOTE="Canalsman, post: 100598, member: 18333"] Tried orbit mode today. I used the same orbit entering at the four points of the compass, with clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation. Anti-clockwise is poor, clockwise fairly good. It makes no difference whereabouts you start the orbit. The POI drifts to the left slightly when rotating clockwise as you approach the southernmost point, therefore facing northwards, and drifts slightly to the right as you approach the northernmost point, therefore facing southwards. This behaviour is much more exaggerated when flying anti-clockwise. I can't think why. I think that by moving the POI slightly to the west of the intended point and flying clockwise you should get an acceptable result irrespective of whereabouts you start the orbit. I'll try this next time and report back. Annoyingly the remote controller had dropped out of FCC mode which I didn't realise which caused lots of problems with these tests with lost connection and gimbal control problems. Lesson learned... Check before flying! [/QUOTE]
