If flyaways were common place then no on would purchase a Phantom. In addition companies would advertize their new non-flyaway features on the drone.
Sadly the flyaway issue is almost a non-issue and is the easist and less embarrassing thing to say after one has crashed or lost their drone.
I can't speak for the Phantom 1, but as far as the Phantom 2 and 3 are concerned it is next to impossible to have a flyaway. You can have honest stupidity situations where you fly out of transmission range, have no GPS home point recorded, have your return to home settings set incorrectly, etc, which all lead to possibly never seeing your Phantom again. But these are not flyaways.
