While flying my P3P I noticed on hover it wouldn't stay in one spot. No wind, full GPS and calibrated compass.


I replaced the blades with a new pack I haven't opened yet and it resolved the issue. If anyone encounters this, its most likely your blades.

Looked like "Toilet Bowl" effect when I first saw the video. but as you say new blades solved it.

Is the "Toilet Bowl" effect a known issue?

It's normally to do with bad calibration, I used to have a Hubsan  H502s and its quite scary when it happens, there's loads of YouTube videos on the subject. Heres mine ...
