Hi all
Took the S800 out last week, pretty rubbish weather and pretty windy, gusty (was a handful to fly).
Once thing I did notice was that on several occasions it would drop (pretty rapidly), on one occasion it must of dropped about 8 meters and I had to apply full throttle in order to keep control.
This only seemed apparent when flying in the windy conditions. I guess (hope) it was just due to the gusts of winds. But it wasn't exactly major wind, maybe 15mph with 25 gusts.
I thought I ready somewhere we people has reported a firmware issue causing altitude issues.
This all happened in GPS mode (didnt get a chance to test in other modes) on the day.
Im on firmware 5.18 (have been since purchase) and previous flights (all lovely weather) have been spot on.
Going to take it out tomorrow, hopefully the wind will be down and I can test.
