I just uploaded this flight from last weekend, please enjoy!

it only cost me 6 props, 1 battery, 1 frame, and 2 visits downtown.

I do change my hover point with a different rate profile, selected by switch via adjustments tab,depending on the size of battery pack I'm using.

I keep my rates the same from profile to profile, but i change the throttle mid to zero so when I apply throttle expo it gradually dips down around center but still reaches 100% at the end of the stick, that helps my resolution around hover when using a lighter battery packs.

If you feel your hover piont is to low on the stick, set throttle mid to 1.0, then add expo and the throttle curve will raise up to your hover point sooner on the stick. If you use a big heavy battery, it takes more throttle to hover and subtle throttle changes afect the quad less, so changing the curve in this way would get back throttle responsiveness, with the exception of high throttle resolution( the difference between 80% throttle and 100% throttle would be less.

My hover throttle position is about 48% but, I just switched to 1208 props. Also, throttle limit will raise your hover point on the stick. if your hover point is close to 50% expo alone won't change that, but adjusting throttle mid along with an expo value other than 0 will change your hover point on the stick.

I don't have airmode always on. It's assigned to the 3way switch I use for arming: down=disarm, mid=arm w/ no airmode, up=arm w/ airmode on. I don't notice any change in the hover piont when switching airmode on/off.

That definitely sounds like the ESC is the issue. I would assume this was a Blheli_s ESC. You could try flashing to Bluejay vie ESC Configurator https://esc-configurator.com/ to see if a bad settings. But I think you new new ESC.

That's what I would guess as well, you're definitely in the range that most people are. I actually might be worried if you saw 4.35v in the goggles.

I've seen my charger say it's putting 4.53 volts to my HVs just before finishing. When pull them and check they read 4.35-4.37v. When I plug them into a quad, then put my goggles on they read 4.2 something. Depending on vtx output, it's at 4.0 by the time I find the hover point.
