Rapid decent

[RParker762]

Just a question. On rapid decent, does/should the drone bobble? I've noticed when trying to bring the bird down fast, it seems to bobble or rock a bit. It is not smooth. Only on decent though. flies great otherwise.

this is quite normal its caused by cavitation at the tips of the props that disrupts the airflow over the props the best way to avoid it is to fly forwards at the same time as you descend if you look at the drone on a RTH it will do it a little as it comes down,to help lesson the onset thats why the motors are angled slightly

You getting caught in your own propwash.
I always keep a little forward movement (or circular) to keep in clean air.
