Hi - I’m recent Air 2 owner - been flying a Mini for a year! So 3or 4 times today while flying the MA2 straight forward it just stopped- like I left off of the stick. I just pushed the stick back to center and pushed forward and the drone flew forward! All in Normal mode - did gimbal cal. IMU cal Prior to flight ! Hope somebody has a solution???

I’m not finding anything out there like this.
I’m new to MA2 but not new to DJI drones. thanks for your help

One thing you can do to determine that the sensors are coming into play is fly in sport mode.
If it does not happen in Sport mode you can than assess that the sensors are being affected most likely from flying towards the sun.

I had same issue trying to video sun rise returning to HP it was a little to dark the sensor thought there was an obstacle in the way
 
I was flying in open desert area - about 200 ft. Flying away from the sun. Second time was flying at 180 ft in my neighborhood about 200 ft away. I’m very confused.
 
do you have the prop guards attached. They can cause that if they're slightly out of alinement...or at least the would with my spark.
