So far so good with a replacement controller... I didn't go far. Just set up and calibrated in my driveway and flew around my property a bit. So, hopefully you all helped find my solution! Thank you for all the input.

You are absolutely correct… I forgot that it did obey the forward command at that point for a little while. When I stopped where you see the end of the dotted line it went back to being stuck in the full backward position and that is where I had to fly it backwards the rest of the way home 👍...

I'm not sure what you mean. The stick was in a neutral position... no input at all when the drone took off. Here is the thread that this is being discussed more thoroughly Air 2 flying backward on it's own!

Sorry for the confusion. Here is the first flight that the drone went rogue. https://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/13X631BG1JXK1RW6NGKY/

I did calibrate the RC after the first fly away… it worked great for an entire battery worth of flying and then shortly after I put in the second battery, you can see what happened.

Yeah, unfortunately all of that “full reverse stick” was with the stick in neutral position and even when I pressed full forward, it kept flying backward.

I think you probably nailed it… I think something is happening within the rc where it is sending the signal of full backward when it’s in the neutral position. The period of full forward was me trying to get the drone to go forward but it was actually still flying backward 🤣 It never went back...

OOPS! I was putting up a new post just as you approved this... I didn't see a way to delete one of the duplicate posts though. Sorry about that!

Oh interesting… yeah, it doesn’t show in that forum now. Do new posts from new members have to go through an approval process maybe?

I don't believe so... the flight logs didn't show any issues in that way.

I added a post under the crash and fly away help forum with the flight data :)

Ok, Here is the link for that DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com

hmmm... it shows that it uploads the file, but when I hit save it seems to disappear!

Hey friends, I bought a used Mavic Air 2 a few weeks ago. My first few flights were problem free... then as I was trying to take some overhead photos of my mom's house, it took off at full speed straight backwards. It was right above my head and maybe 20 feet above me when it happened. It only...

Hey friends, I'm Andrew and brand new to the drone world. I purchased a used Air 2 recently to help get some Real Estate shots of our home we are selling here in Talent, OR. After a few flights, I was at my mom's and trying to get an overhead shot (she is selling her house too) and all of a...
