Hi all,
You may have seen my other post about the hole in my siding and the poor stability of my P4.
I recalibrated the compass and the IMU and took her out yesterday. I made it perform a POI orbit of my home and while it DID execute a perfect circle on the map during the orbit, (I might just be hyper sensitive to its behavior) it seems to me the bird now has a "bumpy stride" to it. In the slightest wind it seems to almost rock from side to side or corner to corner. An attitude/behavior I normally see in a rapid descent with no other direction motion. Also during a simple hover it does the side to side / corner to corner bumping / rocking, as well as bobbing up and down several inches. As stated in my other thread i've got 7.5 hrs of flight time with this bird, and unless I'm crazy this is not behavior I've ever experienced with it ( again unless I never noticed it befor, and now I'm overly sensitive after hitting the house. Although it was doing this the day it hit the house prior to the crash)
I'll try to get some footage of the anomalous behavior later today.
Pardon the lighting, but as you can see it drifts toward the house , and loses altitude dramatically both occasions I let it try to hold position
