Hi,

Although I'm old RC helicopter pilot, drones are new to me.
They seems to be mutch easier but FPV makes big diference, so I would like to ask for some obsertations regarding this  specific drone.

#1. Not too important, but I have noticed that when I'm descending there is no '-' (minus) sign in descent / climb speed meter. We have this on simulator but doesn't work same in real.

#2. When I'm in N/S mode and hovering (no wind, no stick touch) about every 5-10 sec there is strnage "tick". Drone moves nervous  3-5cm in any direction and returns to stability in less than 1 sec. Looks like very short, hard and sharp stick movement or very short power loss on one engine.

#3. When I'm in M mode 2 times they blocked me to do more roll (similar like in attitude limit whitch is off), no problem recorded with pitch or yaw.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

#2. That doesn’t sound right. Mine doesn’t do that.

#3. There is a setting in the goggles that you have to go in and permit full acro to be allowed for full manual mode flight. I can’t remember what it is exactly. Roll or bank limit enabled... something like that.

Another observation to the list.
#4. When I'm in M mode (close to me, signal perfect) it kicks me off from M to N with red message "Unable to enter in M mode". Hmm it do this 2-3 times per one flight.

Update:

#1. - no change. still no "-" sign when descending like in Virtual Flight App.
#2. - strange "tick" could the cause be a hit with an insect? I found some small remnants on arms.
#3. - no - I'm in full manual / acro mode (attitude limit disabled). For now the issue gone (at least the last 5 flights).

#4 - If you are in controlled airspace, there is a 40 meter buffer between the max altitude allowed in Manual mode and the lower limit of the airspace.

For example, my office is in a 150' gride, subtract the 40 meter buffer and that means I can't go above about 18' before Manual mode shuts off.

#4 - Many thanks. It is possible. I was in limited to 100m enhanced warning zone and It's possible that I reached 70m or so. I didn't know about the buffer.

Update:

Issue #2 - "tick issue" as a result of insects impact is fake and it have to be clarified. It still happends all the time during landing procedure in N mode.
Issue #4 - confirmed. it's 40m buffer in warning zone.
