Nope. Turn off obstacle avoidance and make sure to have healthy GPS strength and you're good.
I think it might not be a good idea to tell new pilots to turn off obstacle avoidance. If you are recommending it because of the problem of Return to Home into a low sun, I don't think that qualifies as a "fly-away". If there is another reason, please educate me.Nope. Turn off obstacle avoidance and make sure to have healthy GPS strength and you're good.
But new pilots are better off well away from obstacles, OA only works with things to the front, it can also result in panicy moments at close range when "it does things on its own" or "won't respond to sticks"

These are some good suggestions for beginning pilots. The OP asked about "fly aways". I just disagree with equating mistakes by the inexperienced as "fly aways". To me a "fly away" is when the controller is no longer controlling the aircraft and it flies away.This.
New pilots think they are safe flying indoors because they have OA but nothing can be further from the truth. There are a few million ways to crash the Mav with OA on and the #1 thing to protect you from most of them is to fly in a wide open outdoor area. And, yes, I stand by suggesting OA be turned off, even for beginners. You shouldn't be flying where there are obstacles anyway. And if a gust of wind comes you won't have to worry about OA limiting your drone's ability to fight against it to maintain a hover.
