Went out to two parks today, one was a successful flight and the other park have a beautiful river but it's heavily wooded. Well I found a space that appear to have sufficient space for the aircraft to take off but when I powered on the motors. The aircraft was in atti mode then GPS was back and green. Then I take off and left to hovering for a little. Well, the aircraft went back to atti mode and was moving by itself instead of hovering. Tried to control it unsuccessfully and hit a tree... fortunately it was not too high and rescued the bird. Tested it again and was able to fly without issues then I realized that the recording button was not on. Wasted my gas car going to the second park for nothing. Lesson learned guys, never ever take off in very heavily wooded areas, because the GPS seen not work very well.
