Hey guys, new here, great board!
My brother crashed our P2V+ into a tree branch and it fell straight down from a 15' height. Everything looked fine except the gimbal developed a "rough spot" in it (would hit its limit very early and error out on gimbal obstruction.
He bought a new gimbal and that works fine. However ever since the crash (new gimbal or old) the drone does not hold GPS position. It holds altitude, but wanders around like someone else is in control. In wind where it used to stay within a foot of its position, it now sometimes wanders 10 feet or more until I correct it.
I have calibrated everything 5 times, updated everything it would let me, etc.
It still wanders like it is in manual mode despite 7+ satellites and solid green lights.
Also, perhaps related, it now takes forever to find the minimum 6 satellites. Before it would find 9+ in less than 2 minutes, now it struggles to find 7 and takes 5 or more mins.
Is there another part that got broken in the crash I don't know about I should try replacing? Is it possible to replace the GPS?
TIA!
