Today I went out for a launch, I calibrated and went up about 20', the 3 started making circles so I landed it. I had left out the USB card and thought that may have been the cause. I shut off the drone, inserted the USB card, re-started the 3, restarted the app, and recalibrated. I went to about 20' and the 3 started circling again, this time in wider circles, I sent it up to about 60' to avoid some trees and it just took off horizontaly at max speed (it looked faster than I could normaly send it), I tried gaining elevation and activated RTH from the app. Even though RTH confirmed (slide to activate) it did not return and continued away from me. It slammed into a house on a hill about 100 yards away and fell to the ground. I tracked it down via the flight path on the Ipad using google maps sat view. I never touched the right stick other than to start it.
Perhaps it was my fault, although I don't see how.
I would suggest to anyone that if their 3 starts acting up, don't fly it.
I ordered another one, as I enjoy the 3 quite a bit - its worked great 9 out of 10 times...
