my 2nd drone I had reasonable ability with the first- a real toy but my 720 just goes where it wants I have crashed every flight It's survived so far but sooner or later I am going to wreck it if I don't get the problem figured out. Contacted Holy Stone and they asked me to send them a video of what it's doing? I have lots of satellites in low speed but i just cant keep control? should it not sit and hover when not receiving input from sticks? just flys off on its own as I try to steer it but always end up hitting the ground. Any ideas or advice greatly appreciated

The satellites only control it going N, S, E, or W. Have nothing to do with altitude.

So if it starts dropping, the UP lever doesn't stop it?
 
it drifts N,S,E,W. I take off with the auto take off/land button, it goes into a hove at about 5' and the starts drifting to the side . I go to correct it just to try to get it back in a hover beside me and then the fight starts seems like every input i give it- fwd/back/left/right it just keeps going in that direction slowly picking up speed until I cant keep up with it and it hits the ground. Should it not just hover under GPS control when it's not getting directional commands from the controller? I had a toy (no GPS ) drone before this one and was able to control it no problem.
Thanks for your response and help, If I don't get it figured out, i am eventually going to wreck this drone, I've hit the grass about 7 times and a tree once (it flopped into the snow below) It's a tough little bird!
