[QUOTE="SPark_South_Oz, post: 123756, member: 17032"] As it was auto landing you should be lucky there, it should have landed somewhere right there. Great (lucky) you flew a decent mission and battery was low / drone was close and still had drone - controller signal. Hopefully it's still there, I guess if a game was on / has been held since, if it was found you had your contact info marked on the drone and someone might call to return it. (Did you really take off with 44% battery though ?) It looks like a classic yaw error caused by imu / compass disagreement at start up, perhaps autonomous flight was all fine by GPS, then when it went into normal rth / landing ops, the disagreement casued it to fly away. Local magnetic interference causes this at take off, and if not noticed to correct things, leads to the aircraft taking off very often at 90 degrees or so. Best practice is ensure when the lady says "home point recorded, please check it in the map" you look at the map and ensure the red arrow drone direction is relatively right for the way the drone faces on the ground. Good luck with finding it, please update. [/QUOTE]
