Tilt Error Compensation

Hi,First of all I many thanks to Chris for directing me to the right link, which has enabled me to have an enormous understanding to what I needed to do and gained other info that I was not aware of...Brilliant Forum!!!Right now I am working on the CMPS03 digital compass. I have managed to get the compass programmed and it works fine on the Horizontal/Yaw manoeuvre. I am working on the till error compensation right now (Pitch & Roll). However, I am struggling with the following areas:- I am experiencing a random flickering during the tilt “Pitch” on the North & South direction. Is this okay or is it due to something that I have done wrong?- I plan to use an additional CMPS03 to detect the Z-axis because I could not find another single axis compass, which also uses I2C interface. How can I use only one of the sensors reading when pointing on the Z-axis.- I have looked into the brilliant comparison in the FQA between “Gyros, Accelerometers, Infrared sensors....”. to avoid complexity and expenses as am still learning about UAVs & RC Aircrafts, I thought to go for Infrared sensors. is my understanding right that I would be able get the till measure through an Infrared horizon sensor and would it work with this compass module.Thanks for the support.Best regards,
