Well, I've heard about them, read about them, watched others on youtube and now experienced my own flyaway. I gotta tell you, I doubt this will stop my flying, but it scared the crap out of me. I was lucky to not hit someone or a business. Luckily, I only fly areas like this when there are few to no people around.
I was attempting to get some downtown Decatur, Ga. footage, when my P2 decided to stop responding and take off on its own. I have no idea why, it was a routine flight after compass calibration and all green led. You can see the mini iosd and everything appears normal. Best I can tell it just takes off on its own.
Things really get interesting at about 40 seconds see for yourself: http://youtu.be/pxB5AgvSZys
Damage: Gimbal, H3B+, landing gear, Immersion tx and a few scuff marks on the shell.
At least I got her back.
