When I see these lost and runaway drones I realize how lucky I am living the country.

Dear readers, if you lose control of your drone your first action is to switch to Sport mode. That is usually sufficient to recover control.

That all depends on why it is flying away. Staying in sport mode may actually make things worse. It definitely helps if OA is the issue, and toggling in and out of it will cancel any intelligent flight modes. But it could cancel a needed and functional RTH.

I think I’d hit the pause button and try to calm down.

... and set the drone action to hover or RTH, which ever is most appropriate for your flight plan, before taking off.
