    Air 3S drifting uncontrollably

    Yes. Thanks to the people here, the problem is solved! Removing my landing gear solved it. Unfortunately, a new problem has appeared: whenever I try a Mastershot or quick shot the controller says, "Obstacle Detected, quick shot cancelled." The sky was completely clear of any obstacles. Don't...

    Air 3S drifting uncontrollably

    Yes, I tried that. Never could get it to hover :/ Thanks to this forum, I found the answer. The bottom sensor was partially blocked. Removed the block and all is well. Thanks!

    Air 3S drifting uncontrollably

    The IMU calibrated fine and I got no error messages. Thanks to the people here, I found the problem. The bottom sensor was partly shaded by a very small piece of velcro. Thanks!

    Air 3S drifting uncontrollably

    I do believe you got it! Turns out there was a tiny bit of velcro impeding the sensor. Don't know how all-of-a-sudden it started doing this, but when I removed the velcro everything went back to normal :) All is well now! Thanks so much! Livingston

    Air 3S drifting uncontrollably

    I've never cleaned them (on any of my drones). But this thing is pretty new, they shouldn't be that dirty. Plus, wouldn't both the upward and downward sensors be dirty? Oh well, I'll clean 'em anyway. Thanks.

    Air 3S drifting uncontrollably

    No, it always starts when I take off and continues from there. I have to pull back to stop ascent then push forward to stop the descent. Rinse and repeat. Thank you.

    Air 3S drifting uncontrollably

    I have landing gear attached to the bottom, but I've always used them on my drones and have never had a problem. I've had them on since I got the 3S and this just started a few days ago. I don't know how to generate a .txt file :/ Thanks, I'll try taking the gear off.

    Air 3S drifting uncontrollably

    Hey everyone, I just found more oddness...this morning, as it was drifting up, I shot some panos. They all came out perfectly! I take that to mean it stopped ascending to shoot the panos.

    Hello from New York

    I read he was shot down by a Canadian or Australian ground gun crew.

    Air 3S drifting uncontrollably

    The props are brand new and not scratched or bent. Plus, the thing drifts up and down. Thanks.

    Air 3S drifting uncontrollably

    Yes, I calibrated the controller. Yes, it just creeps up and down. I'm embarrassed to say that I forgot was ATTI mode is? And what is the 'Hall' sensor? And how will the controller calibration screen will give me a good indication. Thanks much for trying to help!
