Checking in.

Its too cold to fly outdoors and too scared to even palm launch it indoors.

Welcome aboard!
It is not too cold for a short flight. But start out with everything warm.

Hello from the Hoosier Heartland.

This time of year I'd be snowmobiling in your great state but I haven't been for a couple of years.

I was in awe of the Mackinac Bridge spanning five miles over the frozen Straits of Mackinac when I first seen it.

What a beautiful piece of engineering excellence.

Welcome to the Forum .

Thank you for a kind welcome.
I am having a hard time getting the 'fly by gesture' to work indoors or outdoors.
Every time I press the power button X2 quickly, I get 2 double red blinks.
I must have left off something on the App.
Also, having a hard time to do a compass calibration as too much magnetic interference. Maybe, that is why it won't let me palm launch.
Thank you all.

There is a button to slide to use hand gestures in the app. When doing a compass calibration do it in an outdoors, open area with no metal, for example, places like concrete has metal rebar in it. Remove your watch, keys/coins from your pocket, be sure you are metal free. Then follow the onscreen instructions.
