I need to test that. Will be a huge relief if indeed altitude drop is fixed.
As to those that had not seen it, I can say from my experience that I noticed it on many occasions, and more so when I was flying from an elevated place towards a valley. Just last week, flew it over a river and as I stopped it started dropping, I would say about 6 to 8 ft. The strange thing is that as I was pushing the joystick to raise it, it ignored my command. I had to move it horizontally out of its place and then slowly bring it up. Definitely scary moments. Ah, and it was less than 40ft away from me when all this was happening, but with very few satellites (only 3), due to the mountains around. There was no wind so I felt I would be able to control its location, especially at close range. It is the altitude drop that scared me...
