Had a close call today while flying the Phantom 3. She wasn't responding to controls and just wasn't flying quite right, noticed this right after take off. I was about 5-feet off the ground and decided to take her back down and, well the landing wasn't pretty.

Did a diagnostic check of the sensors. The IMU needed calibration. Performed calibration of the IMU and the compass and we were back up flying again.

Even though I don't have a drone yet, I have been watching videos for the P4. I actually watch the calibration/compass video last night. I think I may be ordering the P4 within a month or two.

That's why you are not allowed to take passengers on the P3, Jeremiah.
