Thank's for your replies guys, I'll try to answer a few Q's .
I wasn't notified of errors (compass, IMU or otherwise) until the last minuet or two of the flight, everything you see in the logs DID NOT appear on screen...I was happily taking photos & videos...as the AC was in my LOS I kept an eye on it, I'm a cautious flyer...and the AC displayed NO erratic movements. Then I got a compass error which I was notified of, I checked the screen and everything was back to normal (AC was in GPS mode) however my butt was twitching by then so only AFTER checking the screen, I initiated RTH, its from then on my screen lit up like a Christmas tree.
@WB ok from now on, I'll call it an UAE (Unplanned Ariel Excursion) instead of "Fly Away" .
There were NO metallic or other obstructions around, for those that haven't seen the logs, below is a screenshot. The UAE occured when it was right above my head.
I have seen on the forums there is conflicting info on compass calibration, IE ONLY calibrate if the software propmts you too, if it doesn't, the drone is happy with the compass performance...so if it ain't broke, don't fix it..ALL systems were normal in my pre flight check.
@Diana, thanks for replying, No I haven't contacted support yet.
I don't use dropbox but below is a link to my google drive upload...I *think* this is the right flight.
