HeliGuy said:what does drifting to the left mean? what mode are you flying? perhaps a gps issue. need more info.
BlackTracer said:If you haven't already:
-- try calibrating your controller in the RC assistant.
-- then calibrate it in the PC assistant.
-- then calibrate your compass where you are going to fly, ensuring your pockets are empty, nothing on your wrists and no ferrous materials in the ground.
-- then ensure you have a good satellite count (>= 6, preferably more).
-- ensure you are in GPS mode.
-- fly.
Should fly with no drift after all that. If not, let us know. With a sat count of 6, it may drift at first and become better with time in the air. Sat counts of 7 and preferably 8 or more should be very stable.

I did not know u had crashed and done repairs. My recommendations are for an undamaged craft. And yes by controller I mean the handheld transmitter.Jenko1989 said:I have done all of those things except calibrate the controller. By controller you mean the transmitter yes? Just checking lol Do you have to calibrate both the Phantom and the controller/ transmitter together?

You would think that it could compensate for the misalignment you have. But it appears it is too unbalanced to handle. You are going to have to align everything and be sure you have the same hardware on all four corners.
Your satellite count dropping when you record is likely due to it needing the foil mod. Look it up. You don't HAVE TO cal everything together but you should in this case.

Jenko1989 said:Ok thanks for your help, but thing about the GPS is that, it was working absolutely fine before the crash. No problems what so ever. Now it's not so great, i'm just not sure if that foil mod will do anything?

Maybe the GPS device in the top of the shell is damaged. I have heard of them cracking in a crash. Remove the shielding and have a look.
Jenko1989 said:Ok will do thanks man. What would you recommend if it was damaged?

Actually the more I think about it, the damaged ones show 0 satellites I think. I still think you should try the foil mod cause the symptoms are pointing to that. I know, it was fine before lol.
