Did it yesterday. Just like the instructions say - do a 360 degree turn to the left, then a 360 degree turn to the right, check the quality is about 100 and push finished. Took perhaps 10 minutes and it did make the heading more accurate.

Not much to fuss about...
fly,
bring up the in flight setup menu,
select compass calibration,
select start,
make a 360 degree turn,
watch as the quality number begins to grow,
make a 360 degree turn the other way,
watch as the quality number continues to grow,
when it hits 100 or more it turns green,
select accept,
select exit.

My select text on the buttons is from memory but it was quite obvious and straight forward.

I executed a single 360 left then right and the quality numbers for both of my ADARHS units was 100 and 103.

I will play with it to see if big lazy eights get higher quality values...

Might be nice to hear what sort of numbers others see.

There's also page 5-5 of the installation manual which fully describes the calibration procedure before you go fly.
