I am wondering if anyone has had this happen to them and what it may be. If I go out about .5km turn my copter around, on the way back the straight forward stick will be off to the left about 20 to 30 degrees off center

I am not sure when it started happening, I could say it was around a time of an firmware update, but do not think that is it mainly because we would be hearing more about it. But if you have had this happen to you please weigh in. I email DJI support 4 days ago and still have not heard back from them.

Is this in GPS mode?

Have your adjusted your GPS/Compass for magnetic declination. That could be your issue. Page 41 of the manual.

thank for the tips, ya if I look at the changes the only thing over the last few months is firmware updates.

I am running in GPS mode, I have calibrated the compass many times and still getting same results.

I will go look at the manual page 41, and I have not set up any bells and whistles to say.

I do not have course lock, options connected.

Basically when I fly straight out about 150m by the time I go to turn it around, the straight forward direction is now anywhere from 10-25 degrees off. The copters orientation is still pointing in the direction of straight out, it flight direction is now more like a crabbing direction.

I just looked over the GPS magnetic declination section, and planning on trying it out. Do you know if this offset is new in resent firmware release or something that has been there all along. If so then it does not make sense to me, cause this has just started happening.
