Just received the Starling 2 Max. 
The left stick on the controller is not self-centering. When I push it up or down, it stays in that position after I release it, instead of returning to the center. However, moving it left and right works fine and returns to center. Is this a defect? It behaves differently from the right stick, which automatically returns to the center.

@deeplearning361 That is normal, that is how the majority of drone controllers work. You can read through the commando 8 user guide to figure out how to make it self-centering if that is preferred: https://manuals.plus/iflight/commando-8-radio-transmitter-elrs-manual
