MJX Bugs 2w stability issues

[dphardinger]

This is my second drone and I’ve flown it approximately 10 hours.
I seem to be experiencing stability issues with my bugs 2. When hovering the drone wanders and tends to gain altitude on its own. In flight it will take off in any direction also without any command.
Replaced blades and still get same response.
Anyone know what may be the cause of the erratic behavior? GPS chip or gyro problems maybe?

I don't have a bugs2, but I remember that the controller has a switch from GPS mode to just Altitude hold mode. Yes ?
If I am correct, did you by any chance switch OFF the gps mode?

I have checked that setting. I also recalibrated the controller sticks. Next would be to recalibrate the gyro?
Thanks for the reply

I recall reading about the Bugs WiFi transmitter interferring with the Control board's receiver. Especially when the bugs was being flown close to it's limits in distance. I never had to fix one myself, but if memory serves me correctly a little housekeeping with antennas and shielding, made it less of a problem. I do recall one guy who "borrowed" some of the shielding from his Phantom 2's GPS unit. There's a Bugs FaceBook forum, the guys there may be able to help you.
