Hi Guys
I had a very bad experience last night whilst trying to get some video of our local fireworks, set up the P3A ok but didn't re calibrate the compass as I normally would as their where a lot of people around (not dangerously close though) however it was done earlier in the day within a half mile away.
Took off and moved quickly into safer ground and noticed that I didn't have full control as if I had lost GPS beginning to panic even though I have 6 months experience and about 150 flights I hit RTH and she started getting closer but looked like she was going to touch down in the water so I took over again and she seemed to drift again, I managed to do a very rapid and what must have been a heavy landing about 200 ft. away on a road- she stayed upright and didn't cause any damage but not the start to the new year I was hoping for.
I have tried attaching the flight data so if any of you guys have any idea of what may have gone wrong I would be grateful.
