Noticed XSP slowly descending when moving forward

[slvervper99]

So I was flying the XSP yesterday second time after I got it back from Autel. I was flying low about 3-4 feet off the ground because I was maneuvering around trees and noted the I have to compensate the throttle - pushing the throttle up intermittently so I can keep my 3-4 foot height off the ground. It dips it's height almost about 18 inches off the ground when I push on the right stick (pitch) forward that I have to use the left stick to keep it's height to about 3-4 feet. I am new to flying drones since I've only started flying them last November, I believe my Yuneec Q500 4K exhibit similar behavior. Is this normal?

Do you have the latest firmware updates? What you are describing sounds like the original firmware. This video is me flying low without having to constantly adjust the height.

I think I do (have the latest firmware). I assume they would update the firmware if you send the bird to Autel for repairs which I did and I just received my XSP on 8/8 after repairs. I'll check it again when I get home.

Someone on this forum said they do not upgrade it since it is still in the beta stage.

They will not put beta firmware on any warranty work. You have to agree to the terms to use beta so if you did not agree then you are on the older firmware.

 

[Old Bama Dude]

There you go, that should be your problem.

Thanks Agustine and Old Bama, will update the firmware either tonight after I get home from work or tomorrow morning.

So, you didn't have the updated firmware on it when you sent it, correct?

I didn't even know if it had the updated software because I thought any XSP sold after Oct 2016 have them, I will go to Autel website and check the updated software. and check mine also see what gives. To be honest, I am kind of confused at this time. This is the update 1.3.30 right?

 

[Old Bama Dude]

No there's one after that.

 

[Jagerbomb52]

No, it is now V2.0.1
Go here and download the file for your quad. Watch the install videos. Update each battery you have.

Ok Thanks.

 

[slvervper99]

Thanks Old Bama and Augustine, working on the update now.

 

[Old Bama Dude]

I really like it.

I really like it.

So this is still in beta, it seems like it has better options such as no warming up time, and better flight controls etc. Assuming there is going to be a final version soon?

 

[Jagerbomb52]

It took a year to get to beta so who knows LOL

 

[slvervper99]

I just went to Autel website and I didn't see his beta version, wonder if Autel removed it.
