* Advice Needed *

Hi everyone I have a P3S and always when I fly the drone just after it takes off I pull the left stick UP and the right stick also UP so it gains altitude and at the same time it goes forward... But by doing this the drone turns momentarily 90 degrees to the right keeping the correct direction ( up and fwd ) I don't know why it does this and as soon as I stop maneuvering it comes back to its correct position, I don't get any kind of error or anything in the app... So do you guys know what can be causing this? Besides that The drone flies perfect! Hope I made myself clear...

Here you can see my flight log where the drone was coming from RTH (thats why you dont see the forward stick being moved) and then i cancelled the RTH and started going up... notice how the drone turns 180 degrees or more by itself twice and the only thing i was doing was pushing the left stick up so it gains altitude.

Do you guys know if this is only a calibration issue of some sort or maybe one of the motors is failing...

try to re-calibrate the remote. its within the app under remote settings

Are you sure you're not moving the left stick slightly while pushing?  It's very easy to do.

I already did that yesterday before flight and it did it again...

you check that all 4 motors have the same free play and noise? if one is tougher or sounds different there may be debris inside. otherwise can also try IMU and compass calibration and see

I also rotated the motors and none of them seem broken or have any strange sounds i even ran the motors without props and all seems fine... Also did compass calibration and IMU calibration without success

hmmm ok.

and you are using DJI props? in correct orientation they should be (wrong prop not on wrong motor), sorry just trying to throw out ideas, as im totally lost

Dont worry, thanks for helping!

Yes im using original props i have even installed new ones... just in case

only other thing i can think is a ESC going bad. but cant recall if the Phantom have separate per each motor, or if it built onto the main board

Does your Phantom hover in place without slowly rotating?

yes it can hoover without any problem, the issue is only when i go up and sometimes when going forward...

I dont get any ESC error, is there a way to test the motors?

Sir, please upload the flight log (.DAT files) in the aircraft to dropbox and post the link for further analysis. Here is the method:
A. Connect your aircraft (USB port at the tail/ head) to a PC using the included USB cable. Turn on the Remote Controller and the aircraft, then open the DJI GO app.
B. Click “Mode” icon to view the “Advanced Settings”.
C. Click “MC Enter Read Flight Data Mode”
Thanks for your help.
