My Mavic started to fly away at about the 1:35 mark yesterday, i increased altitude to clear the trees but there was no response from my stick pushing it forward fully, i hit RTH and saw it starting to come home. There was a little wind but not much, i eventually took over from RTH and landed.

Appreciate anyone comments etc
Thanks

Never said a bad word to it [emoji19], until it landed!

Back in my RC days, a runaway was usually caused by RF interference. These days RC use 2.4GHz freequencies, same band as Wireless networks, Wireless cameras, Microwave ovens...and even Cellphone towers. If the drone was near your transmitter, the interference source had to be nearby (within a mile or even less). If you ever figure out what caused your runaway, I would be very interested to hear more about it.
