so this happend a few weeks ago and i've been putting off dealing with it. clipped a tree branch, not a hard crash really, drone landed itself fine with the emergency brake doing its thing. but ever since then there's this consistent right drift in manual mode, like i have to hold left stick input constantly to maintain a straight line which is obviously not right.

ran the motor check in DJI assistant and everything shows green, all four motors spinning, no error codes. did a full IMU calibration twice. compass calibration too. the drift is still there. its subtle enough that stabilized mode mostly compensates for it but the moment i switch to manual it's very obvious.

frame looks fine visually, no obvious cracks. props are fine i replaced all of them after the incident. im wondering if maybe one of the ESCs took a hit internally or if something is off with the motor windings even though it passes the software check. anyone dealt with this specific thing before

had something similar after a fence hit last year. turned out one of the motor screws had loosened slightly and the motor was sitting at a very slight angle on the arm. like barely visible to the naked eye but enough to cause consistent drift. worth checking all four motor mounts with a fresh set of screws and some blue loctite before you go digging into ESC stuff which is a much bigger headache on the DJI FPV since everything is so integrated.

also double check that none of your props have a micro crack even if they look okay at a glance, sometimes youll see a hairline near the hub that only shows up when you flex it slightly.

the DJI FPV's ESC integration makes diagnosing this kind of thing really frustrating because you cant just swap individual components easily like you would on a normal build. if the motor mount check doesnt find anything i'd honestly just contact DJI support with your flight logs from around the incident, they can sometimes see things in the data that aren't obvious from the assistant software. repair cost on the DJI FPV is what it is but its probably better than flying something thats not trimmed properly and having it get away from you.
