I have had 8 months with my PV2+ and a few flights with the Inspire, so while I am not an expert, I have had some experience. I have never had, or been close to an out-of-control event, and always go through a thorough preflight checklist prior to every flight.
But this evening, after having upgraded the firmware and app, and checking over all the settings in the app, plus a sucessful compass calibration, the Inspire decided to lurch and veer sideways as soon as it took off and was a few metres off the ground. It behaved the same way the PV2+ does in atti mode in a stiff breeze, but it was locked on (P mode), and there was virtually no wind.
There was no crash or near miss, but the unsettling thing is that I did not choose, or fly it where it ended up.
The event only lasted for a few seconds, and I easily got the Inspire under control and had a nice flight after that.
Something was up with it, and it needs to be sorted out.
The feeling of being out-of-control is a hard feeling to forget.
