Good job of having the presence of mind to save the Phantom by power off the transmitter. Thankfully your Phantom was able to enter Failsafe and fly home.
That's crazy that it has happened 4 times. All at the same location? Does it fly OK at other locations?
What do "you" think is the cause in this instance?
The graph of the flyaway telemetry, along with your video, is eerily similar to my flyaway a month or two back. In my case, the Phantom was hovering about 10’ – 20’ away from me, about 10’ altitude. Just hovering in GPS mode, I wasn’t on the sticks, and it just took off. Leaned over and raced away. The trajectory it chose was south, away from me and down, so thankfully, no one got hurt and it impacted in a roadway about 30’ – 40’ from me. One broken prop and a small scar on the plastic of one arm, no serious damage.
I sure wish DJI would work with their customers and allow us to help them by keeping a log file on the Phantom(2) to record flights. This data could be very useful for maintenance issues and flight anomalies.
My suspicion is in agreement with the post in the other forum that many of the flyaways are caused by edge of envelope conditions not being handled properly by the programming of the NAZA. But, these are only guesses without data to show the condition and access to the program to see how the logic works.
