I don't know the P2V but it seems right from take off that there was a stability problem somewhere. If it would of been my P3A I would have landing immediately, Hopefully you can repair it.

Thanks for watching, Im just trying to figure out the "controlled landing" it did. I was just guessing on what I can remember with me trying to bring it home. I wouldnt be surprised if some of it was due to compass calibration... It was in the air only a little over 5 minutes.I deleted the flight data long time ago since back then I didnt know much on how to see the data and flight on a computer like I do now. Live and learn I guess..

Could you tell what the battery level was at the end. When the battery get to 8 % it will automatically land where ever it is. I had a simular issue twice when a battery was going bad. Did notice any thing until got a message auto landing.

Even though that was the oldest battery at the time, (approx 30 cycles) or 98% life. Ive never had a problem with it. It was in air for about 5 min and look off at about 99-98% charge. But considering that the camera recorded for over a hour total, Im assuming it had plenty of power. When I uploaded the video to youtube it showed 1.05 total time ( I edited out the last 59 minutes since it was just recording a tree limb). 5 minutes in the air, and 60  minutes recording in the tree. 2 motors melted off the body, one motor spins hard, and one still runs good. Only 1 prop was broken.

Isn't there flight data stored in the aircraft as well as stored on the controller device?
