Hey folks,
So a while back I flew my Phantom 4 over a marine lake where I live. During the flight the quad started circling uncontrollably in large circles and I fought to keep it up in the air and I did eventually regain control after a few minutes or gut wrenching terror.
When I did my CAA training I questioned it and was told it was toilet bowling and could be GPS reflection from the large body of water? Kind of fits and the way out would of been to flick over to ATTI and fly it out of danger.
Since having my Mavic I've been a bit nervous about the same thing happening and not having ATTI to flick to in the event of this. Has anyone else ever experienced this type of thing over water? Or toilet bowling in general?
Thanks gang, new here, couldn't find much on the topic, but apologies if it's been discussed.
