Hi folks, new member here. I bought a Vision 2 + and really enjoy it so far, having a blast.
I have a question which I hope those more technically competent with these than me can answer.
I picked up a crashed Vision 2+ for a cheap price. The person flew it into a post and it fell 20' or so onto cement below and it supposedly only had an hour of flight time on it (kind of sad). Bent the gimbal arm on the camera and trashed the props but otherwise supposed to be in good shape. Camera itself actually still worked albeit bent.
I bought it mostly for parts if nothing else. Battery, charger, props, radio, etc. I got it home and took the halves apart, made sure everything was snug, put on the props and figured I'd take it for a flight.
While it did fly, it drifted pretty significantly, wouldn't hover like miner at all. I needed to constantly correct it and was a real chore bringing it down without it skidding/crashing.
I recalibrated the magnetometer and made no difference.
Ideas on what to do? Is there a way to check the health of the components inside it?
If it helps, it did ask for me to recalibrate it again after I landed, so I don't think it's a stretch that it's magnetometer related.
Thanks for the help!
