Hello guys!
Had my first scare today!
I was flying my P2V on a big field today and decided to try Attitude mode non GPS, The phantom seems to fly much faster so this mode seems situ able for sport flying... Sooo I gun it and it went like stink about 25m/s which equates to 90 km per hour or around 57 miles per hour... until suddenly I saw that the Phantom was losing altitude very quickly in the direction it was traveling... I give it some lift to stabilize but It was going so fast that went out of range quickly!
Connection was lost and I kind of saw the phantom traveling even further away! I thought it was flying away... then it suddenly stopped and returned home perfectly, Flipped the S1 switch and regained control.
So I am happy the return home worked perfectly... Only that I am bit worried about Attitude mode not holding altitude... whats up with that?? I tried it a second time... full speed forward and it started to lose altitude again... but only while going very fast...
Is this normal...?
Thanks in advance!
