This morning I was flying the P3 and Inspire. After about 90 minutes of success, the app lost contact with the P3 for about 30 seconds.
The bird was about 200 meters away and 30 meters in the air, not a place you want to fall out of the sky from.
I kept perfectly calm and tested the sticks. Still had control so started bringing it in slowly. Then the app contact was then restored and I continued without further incident.
Just a reminder that the app and the remote are separate things, and just because you lose the picture doesn't mean you have lost control.
Be ready for anything. You could be thrown into ATTI mode without warning, the app can lose contact, basically assume you are flying manually without a video signal or GPS at all times and you'll never be caught off guard.
Note - please don't misinterpret this post as me dismissing the VERY REAL problems a few users are having when the have NO stick control and their bird flies off into the sunset. I just have a feeling the majority of instances people refer to as "fly-aways" are nothing of the sort, and more like the experience I had this morning, or bouncing out of GPS for a moment. If this happens, keep your wits about you and work through it!
