Wondering p2v+3.0

[Alan Miller]

I Got a new phantom 2 vision plus 3.0. Did all updates and calibrations. The unit seems to wonder about 10 ft when in GPS mode when trying to rotate on an axis. It drifts about 10 to 12 ft off center.
ANY IDEAS?

Sounds like you need to do a Advanced IMU Calibration Alan .

that is a lot of reading but you should do it.
The bottom line is to get your quad dead nuts level before you do the advanced calibration.
I mean be **** about it. the more perfectly level it is the better it will fly (spin).

I had a really bad yaw drift and it was due to the gps plug fitting loose! I pushed it down securely and did an advance calibration using glass on top of the motors and a bubble level and after that it flew just like it did out of the box the connection was being broken during flight and I was losing sats that's why I was getting the drift! This fixed mine hopefully it'll help someone else.

I put a little hot glue where that connection is to help hold it in. Seems to do pretty good !
Glad you got yours worked out gand !
