I recently dug my Solo out, upgraded to OS 4, then transplanted the main board and motor pods into a new airframe. Got everything together and had a successful couple flights.
But it's not the stable Solo I remember. I have the mRo GPS and it locks onto 12 or more satellites usually. Seems like it would get to 18 or more when I lived further south (I'm at 47°N now).
It wanders quite a bit laterally, bobs in altitude, and seems to be imparting more vibration to the gimbal than ever. I swapped to my spare NIB gimbal which works ok but the controller now will show "gimbal hardware not found" or something like that. Does that get flashed during the OpenSolo upgrades? Do i need to reflash the copter?
Is it possible something else is damaged on the main board that I didn't notice? I performed IMU and compass calibrations before flying.
It still flies fine under active control but I can't really go hands off anymore or it'll be in the trees after a few seconds.
Ideas?
