Stable flight

[Pmac2002]

My solo seems to shift around quite a bit when holding. Doesnt show on film but likes to drift. Any ideas?

im getting 14 to 15 sats.

I think document 1 meter variance. More then this, then you need to send in a ticket.

Usually when I have some drift, a compass calibration takes care of it.

Awesome will get out and see today

Mine does the same...just sort of drifts around in a small area (I can see that in video when hovering)...yeah, maybe a 1/2 to 1 meter circle. I upgraded to the mRo GPS thinking that would fix it, but it didn't.

My Phantom 3 Pro, which landed in the ocean due to pilot stupidity, was laterally and vertically much more stable. I figured that was because it got 18 satellites routinely, but I guess it was also because of something else...don't know what.

Try doing a compass calibration and see if that helps. It always has worked for me.

Check...thanks...I actually haven't done that in a couple months...and haven't done it since before installing the mRo M8N...I'll report back with results (windy out right now so it'll probably be tomorrow).

Sometimes I don't need to calibrate the compass for quite awhile. When it starts to drift in a hover in light or no wind, I calibrate the compass, and it has always done the trick. Hopefully it will for you as well.
