@mlebret

I will look at it soon.

Hello,

I had an uneventful 8mn photo flight yesterday. It ended with a commanded RTL.

Basic configuration and parameters were restored from file. I had to redo the 3D accelerometers calibration and mag calibration before flying.

I did not change other settings like Wifi or RCIO.
