Welcome to the forum!

Thanks! First flight yesterday. Updated firmware to 01.00.01.00 and 01.00.1500.
Started P4P+v2 with beginner mode (default I believe) Flew fine, still photo ok, video ok but sometimes jerky. got warning of 2.4 interference. Seemed to fly ok then began uncommanded vertical climb which could not be arrested with down stick. Tried multiple times then went to RTH Mode. Began to descend and was able to land normally.
Did this a couple of times in the flight. Terminated and downloaded log files. Uploaded log files to link, and viewed them. Showed 85' max height then RTH enabled. No other remarks I could see.
Looked around the site but could not find other similar issues. Want to correct before next flight. Will at least try compass cal, although it appeared to respond normally and the problem was not in x/y axes... Any help pointing me in the right direction is appreciated.
Very impressed with the potential of this platform for the money.
