I have a FPV drone, and love it.  It's so fun and easy.  Just love the thing- can't say enough about how much I'm glad I spent the money on it.

However, I was sitting on the back of my pickup truck tailgate flying it, as I'm a "leaner" and would fall over if I stood up while flying, and when my spotter asked me a question after I landed, I put my controller down and accidentally knocked it off the gate and onto the ground.  There's not a scratch on it, but when I started flying again, the drone began to rotate clockwise (looking down).  I landed, turned off the radio and then back on, but the drone still rotates.  I can stop it with a little left rudder.  I love the remote, but it doesn't have trim on it, so I'm wondering if I broke the thing.  Any suggestions?

Calibrate it in the settings, I had the same issue.
In the goggles:
Settings > Controller > RC Calibration

Calibration fixed it.  The left stick isn't as solid as the right one- it moves around a tiny bit.  Hopefully it will be okay long term.

You can try to fix that issue by adjusting the screws on the back, too.

Thanks everyone.  It flies well now.  I've flow it twice and it seems to fly straight.  When I calibrate the sticks, it doesn't remember 100% on the rudder stick, MODE 2, which makes me think the screws are loose.  Also, it won't fly unless I calibrate the controller first.  I just flew it for about 5 minutes, landed, and now it won't take off.  Do you think it is because of the stick?
Actually- don't answer that.  I will start a new thread since this is a separate topic.
