Was out flying this evening and everything was going well. No wind at all which was great.
About 2 mins into a flight I hovered the phantom at about 30 metres, then after a few seconds it took off on its own. Now I had full GPS lock and everything is calibrated perfectly including the compass. Couldn't get control back so tried turning off the controller to force it to fail-safe but it kept fly up and away.
Spent 4 hours searching for it and the gopro, no luck
So what's the deal with this fly away thing I'm seeing posted on this forum and others as well as Facebook. It's pretty crazy if its happening to quite a few people, I mean thats over 1000 Euro that just flew away tonight. Madness!!
I'll go out again tomorrow after work but I don't hold much hope as it went up so high I couldn't see it any more so it could have landed or crashed anywhere(Lots of barley fields, golf courses and parks as well as the sea beside me).
Bad Times
