I flew before the eclipse for 13 minutes just hovering at 100 feet, as a test. Everything fine. It just sat there.
launched again 5 min before total, hoping to film the shadow and darkening of my area. After about 4 min I checked my drone and it had taken off! I regained control and got it back, only to have it take off again! Got it back and quickly landed as totality had occurred.
Why did it take off? Interference from the solar eclipse, like an electro magnetic situation? Weird, but at least I did not lose it.
Anybody else experience that?
