OK... I hesitate posting this but I am curious if anyone else has seen it.
Phantom 1.1.1 flying about 200 feet in windy conditions. GPS on. It was bouncing around a lot and suddenly it started responding incorrectly to the controls. It was almost as if CLI was on but... not. The logical nose of the aircraft shifted by 90 degrees. Right stick forward caused a left bank, etc. Since it was in GPS mode, I didn't panic - let it hover and just reoriented my brain to the new effect. Got it back on the ground, pulled the battery (it was about 1/2 gone) and inserted a fresh one. It powered up fine and flew the rest of the day. This is the kind of problem I can live with since it is totally recoverable but I was wondering if anyone else had seen it or if I was just having flashbacks from the good old days.
