Hoverfly Magnetic hold

[michael f]

Do I only need to tick the Mag Hold box if I'm using A External Compass / Magnetometer?

No that is for magnetic hold for yaw. The HoverflyGPS will automatically detect if an external compass is connected.

So just to clarify, if I am using the HoverflyGPS I tick the box?
if I am only using the HoverFlyPRO I leave the box un-ticked?

If you are using the HoverflyGPS....AND....you want to use magnetic yaw hold then tick the box.

Normally the yaw is controlled based on the gyroscope on the HoverflyPro. If you are using the HoverflyGPS then you have the added ability to use the magnetometer to hold the yaw in position.

I guess I should have said, is there any reason to tick the Mag Hold box if you are using the HoverflyGPS?

Its a preference thing. Try it with and without. Actually I would be interested to hear your opinion. I believe it is better to use the magnetic hold. The PH seems more controlled.

Thanks Al, I'll give it a try.
