My best advice is work on learning and practicing switching from one MODE to another quickly and without having to think. When in doubt take your hands off the controls for a few seconds. and assess what's REALLY happening. You may just have forgotten you are still in course lock or sport mode and you thought you were in P mode.

Thank you! I will keep that in mind. I've mainly just been playing in attitude mode so far. I've logged about 5 hours since I received the thing. I deff focus on NOT freaking out and elevating when something goes awry then collect myself.
