    Nubee here-Just received my H5C and can not keep bird facing in one direction-keeps wanting to move in a circle to left. Any advice out there?
    Appreciate any help. Windless day.
    Just keeps spinning (slowly) wide circle.

    Is this an issue with the motors?
    Being a nubee need help keeping this quad under control.

    Hmmm....could be a couple things.

    Obviously check the trims - should be adjustable on the transmitter.

    Any type of total reset you can do may help.

    It looks a bit like a compass error - if the JJRC has a compass (headless mode), then it may be miscalibrated somehow. I'm not familiar with how to set or reset it, but the manual should mention it.

    Try starting it up on something besides concrete - there may be metal in the concrete messing with the compass.

    Good - they call that type of defect a "toilet bowl" effect and it's usually the compass (on other machines).
