As you may know, last week I had a loss of GPS/spike in HDOP causing my H to temporarily fly away. The H was at 100 feet, and as you can see from the video, there were no mountains or high buildings around that might have caused the loss of GPS. From my view point, the H dropped out of view and I do not think I would have had enough time to touch the on screen "buttons" to take it out of GPS mode and attempt to fly manually. Since then, I have been very reluctant to do any type of flying other than in manual and it being near me. I would hate to think what could have happened if GPS was not regained. The stigma against drones is bad enough.
The onboard video of the fly away is here:
The fly away begins at about 23 seconds
I'm just wondering for those who have had a flyaway or other type non-pilot induced incident, were you a little skittish about flying again, or did you chalk it up to a one in a million anomaly and had no issue with going right back up?
