So I've got almost everything fixed from my crash a month ago ( viewtopic.php?t=26655&p=248293 ) but still having one weird problem. The phantom seems to drift pretty quickly to the side when it flies and I noticed that it just kind of looked a bit lopsided while flying. I was flying it pretty low to the ground and it didn't have satellite lock. When it has satellite lock it seems to stay put (but I worry about flying low to land and takeoff and having it switch in and out of GPS lock and bolt to the side randomly)
Just to confirm my suspicion i tried it again in a place with no wind -- my living room! I flew indoors (0 GPS satellites, so ATTI mode) and as soon as it took off it started drifting towards the wall of my apartment at a pretty nice clip and I had to grab it before it crashed! It's always drifting the same direction (to the right if you were looking through the eyes of the drone's camera)
I've tried compass calibration, basic IMU calibration and advanced IMU calibration including this morning before flying it inside. Nothing seemed to help.
Any suggestions for how to fix this?! Thanks!
