    Don't think it was me, but MP went up and right into a tree

    I was playing with MP over a stream, then I flew it up a small hill (20') about 50 feet away, when all of a sudden it went to the right and up. It only took a second or two before it was hanging in a tree. I tried to make it go down and left, but unable. I have quite a bit of experience with MP...

    Hines Park allowed?

    Bad day to fly. Waypoints...... Never again.

    I had similar thing happen the first time I used waypoints - flew right into my house trying to get to waypoint 1. I now go to waypoint 1 manually before starting the mission (after double checking speeds and altitudes on all waypoints). Lessons learned. Glad nobody was injured! :-) Like many...

    It continues. I demagnetized my Mavic, then flew gently around the yard, I spun it around manually a few times in both directions also, and went through a couple of batteries. The data file is the most recent of 4 flights. When I start to hover, it continues turning right or left and will go...

    Tons of errors, disconnections, crazy fly away 1,000 feet, able to get back for scary/ugly landing - 2nd event

    I recalibrate compass, recalibrated IMU, I hovered and flew around yard a little burning through 3 full batteries. I researched how to demagnetize, but didn't actually do it.

    Mavic drifting, then system errors, drifted away and luckily recovered

    We have no answers here since inadequate data files. We can close this thread, I started a new thread from another similar event. Tons of errors, disconnections, crazy fly away 1,000 feet, able to get back for scary/ugly landing - 2nd event

    2nd time this happened I started my Mavic Pro from my wood deck as I usually do, waited for it to go into GPS mode, went up to look around, it was too dark to see anything really, so I RTH'd. But it started to come down, and headed in wrong direction, so I switched to S mode. It was erratic...
