Brand new p3a--- mode seems to float between gps and atti continuosly (16 satellites the whole time) opened up a help ticket but they want video of it in action, sent them the logs where it shows it drifting around way more than it should with no wind. My scratchbuilt f-550 is rock solid when flown in the same conditions so a little upset if this is normal for the p3a's

#330581 Goes into atti mode all the time

This is not normal. Does the p3a have a clear view of the sky the entire time?

yes completely clear, brand new p3a with updates and imu done- leaving for vacation in a week and wanted to film but afraid of a fly away

Just an idea. Try replacing all propellers with your backup pair. The "Yaw Error" gave me that idea. Also make sure you have the latest firmware installed.

already tried, even went to p2 carbon fibers and yes the firmware is current.

I see the aircraft moving in tiny circles, have you done a proper IMU and compass calibration?
And I see in one of your flights it going into P-Opti and losing GPS but still having many satellites.
Do the calibrations and try in  a different location. I also see those big power lines right next to your backyard. That may be causing some interference.
So, do the calibrations again and try a different area. I'm thinking you will be fine. If not, then reapply the firmware and see if that helps. If not, then continue with the ticket and they will send you a shipping label.

Those four huge radio towers and control center are probably your problem, They are literally in your back yard. Don't fly near those things.

they are old am radio towers

I looked at the CSV data and it only records TWO instances of a change from P-GPS to ATTI, the first for 0.2 seconds and the other for 0.9 seconds.  Hardly worth worrying about.

Time        FlightMode
10m 6s    ATTI
10m 6.1s    ATTI
   
11m 28.4s    ATTI
11m 28.5s    ATTI
11m 28.6s    ATTI
11m 28.7s    ATTI
11m 28.8s    ATTI
11m 28.9s    ATTI
11m 29s    ATTI
11m 29.1s    ATTI
11m 29.2s    ATTI

The yaw errors and compass errors are more worthy of your attention.  I highly doubt your aircraft flew in the positions indicated in the KML file but I would highly suspect a bad calibration or interference from other signals and nearby metal structures.

exactly the same problem!!!! this is ridiculous !!!
