Recalibrate AHRS

Hello All,

I'm using a Crewdog Stratux, which works very well, and have a question about the recalibration function.

When you select "Recalibrate AHRS to Level" you're given the question: "Do you want to recalibrate AHRS on your Stratux or iFly GPS?" What's the difference?

Thanks in advance. Mark

Mark,

If you choose Stratux, the app will send instructions to the Stratux to treat it's current position as level. Picking iFly GPS will cause our app to adjust all the AHRS data to treat the currently reported position as level (eg, if Stratux is reporing "5% bank" iFly will treat that as level)

The final result of either choice will appear to be the same. But I always select Stratux.
