Yesterday while flying my MPP, on a nice long roundabout route, I experienced a compass error and then a crash. I was out in a ballfield and had flown approximately 4000 feet away at about 380 feet high. I got down to about 40% battery and hit the RTH button. I had flown a little in sport mode, but switched back to position mode. The unit got pretty close, but then gave the compass error and flew very fast in large circle. It would respond to altitude control, but nothing else. Not wanting it to lose power, fly away, or crash into something, I forced a landing. Unfortunately, while it came down slowly, it was still traveling in the big circle and broke a front leg off when it skidded along the ground.

Any wisdom is appreciated. The unit will have to go back to DJI, but I'm trying to figure out if it was my fault or theirs.
