    Fly Away

    Thanks; I'm just wondering if the Karma issue occurs outside of an area environment lots of wifi signals.

    Compass interference.

    Yes. Recalibrate and format memory. Even if you're not going to pursue FAA certification it is helpful to read through the material regarding elements of the flight environment and pre-flight procedures. Lots of resources here: Getting Started
