Everything checked out.
Got the green light ready to fly.
Had many satellites locked on.
I flew it up and out over where I wanted to get some shots and it started throwing "Compass Error" warnings, "interference" error warnings and saying "ATTI Mode!". No more GPS.
Now the wind was breezy. A pretty stout breeze. Bad enough to really give me fits and a near heart attack. Luckily I've practiced in ATTI mode. I am not that good in ATTI especially being windy but I was good enough to hard land the bird with no damage. I thought for sure I was going to hit the trees and maybe the condos.
Needless to say that area is off limits.
Maybe all the concrete? The fencing?
Here's the harrowing video.
