OK so I just got done flying and it was somewhat windy. The P4 was holding position perfect , not budging until a fairly strong gust hit and the P4 started ascending up. The gust lasted about a good 10 seconds but before the gust stopped I brought the p4 down and hand caught it. I uploaded my flight data to healthy drones and it says average wind was 12mph and gust was 19.7mph. Since I've never really flown in gusts this high is it common for the P4 to ascend while getting hit with a 20mph gust? I should also mention where I was flying is a parking lot surrounded by all desert which the parking lot is lower than the desert so the wind was coming over a hill sort of. I did walk up the hill and the wind was stronger than down on the parking lot. Now could the way the wind was blowing over and down into the parking lot caused the p4 to raise? The p4 was about 2 or 3 feet above the desert so about 20 feet above the parking lot. Any thoughts? Thanks and if this is a dumb question I'm sorry I'm still learning the ropes and how the p4 behaves.
