Have you tried I’m calibration? Have you crashed, or hard landing? Check the sensors state.

Imu calibration, sorry.

 

[p3s_noob]

Can you provide a short video?

I have checked the IMU and Compass. I don’t know what sensors state is.

 

[p3s_noob]

Sensor state is in the menu options, you can check there.

It’s hard to keep in the air. Keeps dropping.

As stated previously, a bit more description is necessary. This could be due to any number of issues. In order for someone to really help you, we need details and/or data.

Try calibrating rc

Don't really think that's an issue, but who knows with the limited info............

Try NGKs. My Honda won't run right with anything else.

Sorry, couldn't resist. I have had the P3A for a few years and have had zero shenanigans with it. I do not do any esoteric stuff, just fly around some, but mine is a model toy. I have Old Old Old firmware, and have resisted admonitions to fix things which are not broken. When mine gets a few feet from the ground it wiggles around some, but truly airborn, it is rock solid. Wish I could offer something more helpful.

When did this start occurring?
What changed between now and the last time all worked as expected?
Did you crash your Phantom?
Anything else important we should know?

We also like having logs.

Hi
I’d CALIBRATE everything IMU AND THE COMPASS THEN THE RC ...(All through the go App) is it in P mode

 

[Numone]

I sense the OP's given up... or even more lost for words...
