A friend had this happen:
It seemed to be OK but all of a sudden it took off. Just prior to it going away I got a message telling me to let go one of joysticks which I wasn't touching. Maybe the remote went bad.
Fortunately I was able to follow the mark on the map where it landed and recovered it. It had no visible damage only one lense lost and one wire that I had soldered broke loose.
I was recording while it went AWOL. I watched the video and could see it landing three blocks away. It landed on the trunk of a car and shut down. The wind must have blown it off.
Any ideas on this?
