*Disclamer: Yea it was a stupid time to fly so save those comments to yourself because I'm writing this as an informative piece for others to learn from my mistake.*
With that said!
I had been flying in this area at my condo in Bangkok for the last few days with no real issues, GPS signal seemed to be a little shadowed by the skyscrapers at times but for all practical purposes I was green and ready to fly.
I had the bright idea to fly it from my living room, out the window and back in through the window (which I had done before no problem). This time the ATTI Mode was on because it couldn't seem to get a GPS signal where it normally would be receiving around 10 satellites. Long story short it took off on its own out of control and smashed into the side of my condo and slid rotor side against the building for about 50 feet before getting caught in some low bushes by the pool. Scrapped the hell out of my rotors but other than that I am impressed with how it held up to the impact and there don't seem to be any issues with the machine a week after the incident.
Don't be like me and get overly confident, trust the sensors and when it's not getting a solid positioning fix just put it away.
Curious if anyone else on here has any similar issues with the drone wandering when using the ATTI mode?
