Quad not flying straight

[crash1sttime]

was trying to film some tractors but the quad just keeps wandering off to the left or right

Any ideas

Take the whiskey shot glass away from the drone.

Need more info. What model used? Has it done this before? Do you have full control? Mission or manual control?

Never really noticed it before as i don't always fly in a straight line.

Gonna do a TX cal and a compass cal and see if it improves.

Sounds like you're in ATTI mode. Have you got the green OK to fly status? You've got at least 10 satellites connected, right?

Agree with John Locke - it is most likely pilot error.

If not - check flight logs. If the drone does arcs instead of straight lines, the issue is caused by compass.

Looks like a de-magnetizer device.

Nope not ATTI mode, been flying quads for 4 years so definitely not pilot error either

Quad hovers fine in flight so not that either, I'll do a TX cal and a compass cal and let you know the results when the weather gets better
