Hi guys
Just took the P2 out for it's first proper open ground flight to try it slightly further away than a few yards. Behaved perfectly except that there was a period where it almost seemed to be confused about what mode it was in while in Home Lock.
I mostly had it in Home Lock mode (so I wouldn't have to worry about orientation of it once it got a way away), and all was absolutely fine - such a solid hover on it! - but then when I brought it back towards me and flew it past (then flying it in the area originally behind me), it seemed like the home/away stick function was reversed (ie not in Home Lock mode). Double checked and it was in HL mode, but the down stick was flying it away and up stick brought it nearer.
Now it wasn't a huge distance away when this happened, and when I went back to the original area in front of me, then repeated the process it seemed ok second time.
Is there something I did wrong to cause this? It was fine as I could see exactly what it was doing, and the moment I realised it wasn't flying in a home lock behaviour I just let it hover, moved closer to see it better, and brought it back.
What concerns me slightly though is whether or not I can rely on HL to function as it should.
I've a suspicion that I might have caused this by flying it back towards me (only about 30 ft up) and overhead before I took it behind me and encountered this issue, so is it possible that it's come too close to me and therefore got confused about which way relative to home it was facing?
Just want to make sure this doesn't happen in future when it might be further out etc, although I should have FPV on by then hopefully!
Thanks
