Hi all from Devon uk

[rob1468]

Hi all , new flier got a p3 quite a while ago and have never flown it yet but the other week was offered a Mavic pro with all the trimmings , I live in north Devon uk , but last week went to Cornwall to visit parents and took the Mavic and put it in the air for first time got a few min video and had a play around then tried RTH all of a sudden it shot up quite a bit and I then remembered seeing somewhere that it does that as too not hit anything it slowly returned and continued to land about 15 foot from ground I took over and landed it safely , my dad was astounded by it as he’s not seen one before , so in all good start to drone flying I’ve been using rc for years and was county champion in 1/8 scale truggy racing so bit of a change but hopefully an enjoyable one
regards rob

From the West Coast of the US - Welcome to MP!! Glad to have you.

Definitely take the time to learn the settings. One thing in doing that, you will KNOW what they're set at so you won't be surprised.

Welcome.
I would however suggest you read the manuals for both drones before flying either 'again'. They are available online and for download.
In particular read the RTH sections as the behaviour can change depending on the circumstances of the RTH and the distance of the drone from the home point when the RTH is initiated.
I find actually experimenting with them in a safe and uncluttered enviroment is better than encountering a behaviour for the first time in a real flight.
