Fish tailing on full descend

[DroneDan]

Howdy all,
I have only had a few flights so far but have noticed that when descending (left stick fully down) the Mavic Pro seems to swing in the rear left to right a bit. Is this normal? No such behavior with my Spark.

Also getting high wind warnings in 8 knotts of puff - again normal?

Apart from that the bird appears to have everything else working as expected.

Any ideas are welcomed.

(I did search the topic so did forgive if already addressed)

My Mavic PP will wobble or "fish tail" on decent if I am coming straight down full throttle as well. There can be a vortex created under the bird and it tried to pass through the turbulence. When I and coming down I always move at an angle back and forth if descending fast. Try that and see if it helps.

I think it's normal

Wind warning will drive you nuts.

You can also descend by having a slow yaw so the props are biting into partially clear air.

You can say that again.

I get wind warnings all the time, it’s not that big of a deal if you check conditions before flying.

Yes that does and actually makes for a better looking landing - just put her through all scenarios to make sure I understand her - it's a relationship thing lol.
That is for your input!
