Hey guys, something very strange happened today.
To summarize, just after take off the drone drifted to the right without any commands from my end, I'm flying from my "backyard" that is very small so I tend to fly straight up initially to clear all trees and houses around and then continue with my flight.
So what happened
1- As usual, I did a pre-flight check on the props and the aircraft itself, all normal, wind was about 1.5mph according to UAV forecast.
2- I waited to get strong enough GPS signal to set the homepoint.
3- After homepoint was sucessfuly set, I went to do an assisted take off.
4- Just after lift off the drone started to drift to the right and I compensated putting the right stick all the way to the left. (13.1s on phantomviewer)
5- The drone stopped drifting, but started to ascent without any command, I was afraid to send any commands at that point (13.7s on phantomviewer)
6- After regained control I manually brought the drone back to my "backyard airspace" and started my ascent.
7- After ascent I continued with my flight without any type of problem
Note that the phantom viewer tells the drone is pointing the wrong way in take off. The drone was looking directly ahead to the street and it drifted to the right.
in 25-30s In Phantom Viewer it says the drone turned 180 degrees out of nowhere, actually I did that command the logs between 25s and 30s are missing.
Note 2: At the end someone might find some warnings about compass and IMU calibration/erros, that is because I forgot to turn off the drone before taking it inside my house.
Here is two sites that I uploaded the logs.
Thanks in advance
