i'm not offended mate. i know they would go off the flight logs. And its now it's gone. I have flown drones and i no what stick operate what. I am only asking could it be the sticks not restringing with the logs as it should? (This is why i asked if it is possible. As they have been squeezed...

I do appreciate all what you guys are saying by the log on the flight data. I no what i was doing and it was not doing what it should of been i did not panic and knew there was something wrong after it started to rise by it's self and travel away i canceled rth a couple of time and re applied it...

Expensive lesson learnt. I had no issues with the phantom and i flew it quit a lot. just one of them things but it's looking after the marine life now maybe a new shell for the sea creatures. i know what stick moves in what direction up down forward backwards etc. that's what i cannot understand...

yes i did hence to why i did a controller calibration and all other gimbal imu etc

Now come to think of it every time i put the controller in the dji mavic bag that came with it.the sticks were always pressed and very tight as they did not fit.????

It's just one of them thing i suppose. I will have to test flight next one in the house. just hope i can get a discount from dji.

when it was going further away, no way would I try to increase the altitude even more

there's no way I would ascent when the drone was flying higher when it was out of control mate. I had descent on for a while (even tho on my phone screen it says the altitude was continuously increasing)

could it be down to a failed calibration on the remote? was 100% holding descent for a while, and quite a few times. definitely not 1/2 times.

Does it show in the logs where I was holding the throttle down to descent the drone? I had it held down for quite a while. It was going sideways and increasing altitude whilst I was trying to descent the drone.

Lesson learnt I guess. Expensive but hopefully that mistake won't be made again.

Thank you for replying mate, i appreciate it I'll try emailing them and see what they say. I was confused why RTH wasnt coming towards me but i guess if the wind was pushing it that far back / fighting against it then fair enough - I just didnt see why it gained so much altitude, which...

this was above me when i activated rth then it did it's own thing(gained silly amounts of altitude + started flying towards the sea) that's what i cant understand

I had no problems with my phantom 3 from the same place and its at the end of my drive. it had satellites and updated home point. as i always do and the altitude after about 30 mtrs was the drone it's self i tried to get it down but no look then it got to 403 i hit rth and it just flew away non...

So the controller must be faulty? on rth i did not touch any sticks. Nor did it respond to any direction. but was fine when taking off etc. and i cannot also understand why it kept going up on it's own and flying off i tried to get it back down but kept going over 400ft then 800ft. and rth...
