Hi All,
Just purchased new drone from DDM Racing (via Amazon). Have logged over 100 flights/batteries on previous P2V+ v2(?).
While I love the GPS improvements (have lots more satellites than I ever had before), the new guy just won't hover in one place. And if I yaw, it moves as much as 20 feet. And It goes up and down on its own, especially if I move it in any direction. A little gust of wind and it shakes around and sounds like a hornet's nest
For what I use it for (close work to buildings, trees and frequently with strong gusty winds), I'm afraid it will crash all by itself.
I've flown it four times (hand catching) and I haven't dinged it at all. I've calibrated the compass before every flight to see if that helps, I've calibrated it 3 times through the assistant and even done a full IMU calibration.
In fact, out of the box, as I was setting it up, it asked for an IMU calibration. Something my previous drone never requested.
On my old MAC computer I'm still running OS 10.6.8 (snow leopard) and when I tried to download the new version of Assistant, Assistant crashed every time I tried to open it so I'm running the version of Assistant I downloaded in Nov, 2014. Could that be a problem?
I'd return it in a flash, but as I live in the Caribbean and paid high shipping and import fees and return shipping is expensive I'm not eager to do that. Plus I need it for work.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
BVIJIM
