so this has been bugging me for a while and i finally decided to ask because i cant figure it out on my own. my Avata drifts noticeably to the left when im in manual mode and just hovering or doing slow forward moves. in normal and sport mode it seems fine because obviously the GPS and stabilization are doing their thing, but manual mode it just wants to go left.

ive done the IMU calibration twice and the compass once. motors all look clean, no visible damage on the props. goggles 2 firmware is current, drone firmware is current. i fly mostly outdoors in open areas. its not a massive drift but its enough that i have to constantly correct and it messes with my muscle memory when im trying to learn smoother lines.

anyone dealt with this before? wondering if its a motor thing or if theres a trim adjustment somewhere im missing

have you checked if all four props are the correct ones in the correct positions? sounds dumb but ive seen people put the CW props where CCW should go after a crash and replace and it causes exactly this kind of weird drift that doesnt throw any errors. also worth doing the motor calibration in the DJI fly app if you havent, thats separate from the IMU and people forget about it

could also just be wind if your flying spot has any kind of consistent crosswind pattern. manual mode on the avata has basically zero wind compensation so even a light steady breeze will push it and it feels like drift until you realize the air is actually moving. i chased this problem for two sessions before i noticed the grass was bending the whole time lol. not saying thats definitely it but worth ruling out before you dig deeper into hardware stuff
