During an early familiarization flight with my new MA2, I climbed to about 35 feet more or less directly above my takeoff point - and after the home point was recorded. I was watching the display and heard the tone of the drone's props change, so I looked up to see that it had drifted several feet and was now making a lazy circle (see attached flight path). What would cause this? After I observed it for a few seconds, I took over control and brought it back. Nothing was visibly out of whack. During subsequent hover tests, it would occasionally jerk to one side or the other, so I calibrated the compass and IMU to see if that fixed the issue. Haven't had the jerkiness since, but the engineer in me really wants to understand that lazy circle behavior. Any insight from more experienced pilots would be appreciated.
