My first encounter the "Toilet Bowl" effect.


Noticed some toilet bowl effect while in PHLD (GPS Position Hold). Not sure if I noticed it before taking apart the quad to fix the motor.  Update:  I’m thinking now that my tiny screwdriver may have magnetized the screws holding the compass to the landing gear?

I switched to altitude hold mode and moved the drone forward to stop the oscillation but I didn't like my normally rock steady quad moving about on it's own like that.

My research indicates that the UPair One V4 isn't supposed to require compass calibration. I haven't hooked it up to QGroundControl yet, still waiting on confirmation of the external usb port pinout diagram.
