I'd two incidences where the Avata self-initiated max power then after a few seconds shut down after it encountered resistance to it's flight. It was undamaged thankfully. The first was where it got slightly tangled in a bush, after a few moments it went to max power for about 3 seconds, shut down then fell to the ground. The second was where I grabbed and held the drone while it was hovering as I was trying to prevent RTH up into trees, pressing and holding the lock button wasn't working (I needed to press again and initate a forced landing). Again it self-iniatiated max power for about 6 seconds and I had to fight to maintain a grip of it, then it shut down.
