First off, this is my first post as I just got his great little flying camera. Got some great fly-bys on my house with the California Monterey Bay in the background. One thing, however, is that as I was fooling around with this thing (pushing the envelope), I seem to have hit upon a flight mode that is near impossible to exit from. I landed hard and the camera popped out but luckily this was the extent of the drama. It's easy to get into this mode: if you gain altitude at max setting, then abruptly go to no throttle setting, the thing will start falling and almost flip over. Even as I quickly left it alone (center stick on both), the P2 kept on losing altitude for 10+ seconds until it hit the ground pretty hard. Any others ever tried this? I will not - ever- do this again but it was interesting. I think the internal flight control system stabilization S/W is barely able to keep the thing level and cannot seem to regain normal flight mode once it starts. Maybe my first experiences here is only to serve as a warning to others... :shock:
