A 10 ft error/drift seems like a lot to me, but I have no significant experience with any drone other than this one. I tried both the Mavic Mini and Mavic 2 Zoom before settling on the Mavic 2 Pro. I never noticed any altitude discrepancies, but I easily could have missed them. I'm still cultivating my sense of what to be aware of and when.
As for LAANC authorization, I misunderstood how the structure rule worked. Appreciate the advice. I will stay at 50 ft and under in this area. I don't have to go far to find a nice area for flying that has a 200 foot limit, and if I want more than that, there are areas where I can do take it up to 400 that aren't all that far away. I still would like to do a longer and higher flight to see what sar104 might tell me about my IMU. And to see if there is something going on that is causing it to lose calibration. Forecast for the next few days suggests I won't be able to do that until next week. But as soon as I can, I'll do a longer, higher flight in an area authorized for it and post the file.
Thanks everyone. I appreciate the generosity of your insights, guidance, and experience.
