Not really sure that description is the best (as in the headline)... this problem seems to be pretty unique as I've yet to find anyone describe something similar.
My DJI Phantom 1 (P330D) powers up, reads no errors, gets GPS signal, and acts like it's totally fine (When put next to my other P1, I wouldn't be able to tell one has a problem and the other doesn't based on lights). But when I take off... there is no altitude hold/hover whatsoever... if I throttle up the throttle goes up and if I release it the aircraft stops spinning its props and falls hard. It acts like a cheapo $20 drone but is even harder to fly.
This seems to be the only symptom. I've connected it to the software, calibrated everything, updated everything, and it doesn't give me any errors... and the "Cut off type" setting in the software is set to "Intelligent".
I'm really not sure where to go from here I was hoping someone here might have dealt with a similar issue in the past.
EDIT: Not sure if this is relevant - when I did an advanced IMU calibration I kept getting errors for temperature too high. Now.. my room was hot as hell that night. I set it in front of the airconditioner and it finished first try.
