Took it up to the mountains today. So nice. Perfect day.
I think I found the problem to be 'Me' instead of the wind. After doing some researching, I noticed a phrase that had slipped by me... "NOSE of the ..." when calibrating. It said if you calibrate anywhere but the NOSE, then it can lift and suddenly shoot to the left. That is what mine did.
1. Calibrate calibrate.. 360 around, then point the NOSE to the ground and 360 degree that way.
2. Do not do it on a driveway with METAL. I am certain the concrete one I used was filled with it.
3. Do not let your CELLPHONE be anywhere near it when calibrating.
4. Give it a couple minutes to really LOCK IN on the GPS. Then calibrate.
5. Always do it in the grass or 'earth' ground.
All said, I did that today on the mountain. I used the SOFTWARE to calibrate. It wobbled, but did ok, BUT would not set stationary in the air on its own.
So, .. I recalibrated by flipping the S1 Switch forward/backward 5 times, then did the 360 stuff.
Worked perfect.
From then on it did great. You could see it wobble, then settle when the winds hit it up above the trees. But it did great.
So I will agree, in working GPS mode, the Quad will make itself stay in proper position with the wind. The gimbal does the rest.
There is some drift, especially if rotating the Quad left or right in a slow manner. But that is not really a wind issue.
Great Autumn Day. Great Quad.
