Hello all, I need help!

About two months ago, I bought the 3S and have noticed some problems about a week ago.

When I take off, the thing keeps rising even though I let off the stick. The only way I can stop it is to pull back on the stick but when I do, it won't stop descending. The only way to stop that is to let it land or press up on the stick, at which time it starts to drift upwards again. Another thing, when I push up or down it takes 2 to 3 seconds to react.

Also, when banking to the left the S3 is very slow. When banking to the right, it is normal speed.

I reset all the settings back to default. That changed nothing; it keeps doing it.

Like I said, it didn't do that when I first got it. Am I missing something or has my unit lost its mind?

Thanks,
Paul Livingston
