I have been trying to work out why I had two near 'fatal' flyaways in windy conditions. The drone gave an IMU exceptioon warning and the flight log indicated loss of GPS. I'm wondering if high wind can cause flyaways for some technical reason that I am unaware of?
I had no idea there were so many Homies in Canada
I agree with you. To me, a phantom is too expensive to just fly without caution.So from these responses I see no reason, as a hobbyist, to fly an expensive drone in questionable conditions. I choose to stay out of the wind and enjoy my drone on another day.
These aircraft are able to stay upright in an amazing amount of wind. However, they might not be able to make it back to the home point when the wind is too strong. I've seen many a flight log where the craft slowly moved away from the home point as it was returning home due to strong winds.I was able to fly, very stable flight and hover and various altitudes with winds between 20-44 mph - no issues.

Right on. That's why it's important to mention the return to home journeyNot saying don't take extra precautions
