My P3A out of control.

I was kind of in harry (because was a break time)-and first time ever didn't do compass calibration,but like i mention i have flown here dozens of times. So I used previous calibration. I waited until screen showed safe to fly, home point was set up.

You dont need to do compass calibration if you're flying from same location man so I dont think thats it. Also from my understanding if it was compass fault its normally a matter of you giving it a command and it doing something else and so on.. in this case it was drifting so that does point to something else IMO.

Thanks a a lot atki. I just flew my p3 and looks fine, no tilt horizon no visible issues,no gimbal problems, only slightly visible crack on the video from the UV filter. But when I think what could've happen to my drone... I'm so lucky,

Good to hear man, when you extract the data from iTunes check this thread out, it could help us understand what happened:

Weird that although you are in P-GPS mode, it keeps drifting despite that the right stick is centered @0:28 - @0:31 in the video.
Poor GPS signal? Heavy wind?

And just before you crash into the tree you pull the right stick down to pull back, but since you have turned 180 @0:26 in the video, you have the nose pointing at you, so you actually instead accelerate further towards the tree.

Hello everyone.My first post in this forum. Yesterday I flew my p3a and few seconds after takeoff it hit the tree. Not sure what happened in here but I couldn't stop it flying straight to the tree. Here's the log. View attachment 28958

I always begin taking the bird up as high as possible when safe to fly to get better satellite connections. no problems here sorry to here that.

I had 16 satellite signal, no wind, thats what puzzles me from 0:28 - 0:31 it was drifting and going straight to the tree. It should've stop when i released my hand from the stick. I guess going fast couldn't stop the craft from drifting.
