Hi Everybody...
First off, Hope you all had a good weekend.
Secondly this... Was flying my P4P and it almost flew away on me. I had some neighborhood friends with me to watch my drone. I was showing them a RTH and flew a couple hundred feet away at a low altitude, about 90 or so feet I'm guessing. After hitting RTH the bird rose another 10 or so feet (had the RTH altitude set low on purpose for this example) and then started to RTH. It got home and started descending when it accelerated and started to fly away. I realized something wasn't quite right and immediately took control and manually landed. Actually I also have a video of the incident from my neighbor's cell phone.
Link to video.... Auto Land Bail Out .MOV
I'd like someone to explain to me what happen and how to prevent this....
Have been flying my old P3P for over a year and that bird has been rock solid.
Also my newer P4P is about 3 months old and WAS rock solid until now.
I have not flown my P4P since this incident which occurred this past Friday, the 8th.
Thank Again !! Steve
