So I was flying and doing some filming Sunday with my son and had an interesting experience. I was shooting some footage through some pretty open wooded trails along the river here in FL. And decided to take the mini through a large opening and out over the water only about 30 feet out and only at an altitude of about 7 feet to shoot back at us and everything was fine but as I was turning back to come in the mini was slowly gaining altitude all on its own with no input. I was in C mode and had to add quite a bit of down stick to keep it from rising into the overhanging limbs and get it back safely. If I went hands off to hover it would go up.
had no other issues the whole day, any way taking it over the water could have any cause in this? Low wind day and was high enough I think to be out of any wash but?
That was enough to shake me a bit as a new pilot so thought I would just ask.
