[QUOTE="I B Spectre, post: 106706, member: 18605"] So happy to hear you got her back. There are some real savvy people in here on the ways of drones and they are willing to help. I can understand your reluctance to fly it anywhere outdoors, but keep in mind all the hours of enjoyment you got from it prior to this incident. By now I'm sure you've searched the internet for possible reasons behind flyaways. Still, without a clear cause-and-effect, it's natural to be cautious to a fault. It'll take time to get your confidence back, but by starting with a thorough preflight checklist and ensuring you have done your part (sufficient number of satellites, establishing a home point prior to moving out of hover) and following a methodical flight plan beginning with short range/low altitude, then expanding the envelope as you become more confident, you'll put it behind you and pocket the wisdom gained through the experience. If at anytime it doesn't look or feel right HIT THE PAUSE BUTTON, take a moment to check things out. Even in ATTI mode you can manually fly it back to you using the screen map. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
