Mini 2 , Rotates on descent

TOMMY B · Nov 9, 2020

I'm newbie , after flying my my Mini 2 a few times and trying get more comfortable with it I have noticed on my descents it wants to rotate in a Counter clock wise rotation slowly. Is this normal ? Or a issue with its software possibly ?

your not pulling the stick straight down. most likely down an slightly left.

Stick (RC) calibration might help in the event the yaw control is slightly biased from 0.

Rather than recalibrating your joysticks without knowing the cause of the rotation, iIf you post flight data from a flight where you observed this, it will be a simple matter to see if the left stick was pulled straight back or if there was any left-wise component in your stick input.

To do that ...
Go to DJI Flight Log Viewer | Phantom Help
Follow the instructions there to upload your flight record from your phone or tablet.
That will give you a detailed report of the flight.
Come back and post a link to the report it gives you.
Or .. just post the txt file.

In the fly app go to "profile" and then tap the More> button at bottom left of screen. and you'll get a log of your past flights. Tap on one of the flights where you had the rotation on descent happening and switch on the stick position overlay (button on right side of screen that, err, looks like a stick). You can scroll along to the point in the flight where you descended and rotated - have a look to see if you're accidentally pulling the stick a bit to the side as well as down.

For a far more in-detail analysis follow @Meta4 's advice in post #4.

Update : Ok, Last flight everything was working 100% right ! No rotation issues at all on multiple decents. Maybe it was just a one off event. I appreciate everyone's input about possible items to be o. The look out for.
