Hello DJI
I am a big fan of the products and been supporting since the Phantom 2 came out. So I ve been flying for almost 2 years and I really love my birds. Upgraded to the P3A the first week it came out and never had issues with it. I am not a newby and is very carefull and aways do a pre-flight check before each flights. I've been reading on the net about Fly Aways and I was telling myself that it is most of the time it was pilot error. But last week, my experience prooved me wrong. As I was in a rural area where I fly often at my parents place, I became a victim of thoses electronic failurs..
i had planed to fly over the lake and did my regular preflight check. Propellers were tighten, calibration of IMU and compass were done flight before and I had 13 sats locked in. Battery was 100% charged and had only 6 flight with it. Since I am not in my first, I often put the bird in ATTI mode, wich I find more interesting to fly. 36 second into the flight, The remote indicated lost signal. The P3 was at 100 feet in the air and about 300 meters aeay, wich is not far but lost sight of it since I was looking at my screen. When I lost the signal, I tought the the quad failsafe would kick in and it will come back to land at my feet. But it didnt hapened. Even with pressing the RTH button, nothing happened. So basically, my P3 advance never came back and Didnt se it fall into the lake wich makes me believe that i just continued to climb and went strait nto the woods until the battery died. Now, following this adventure, I have filled a TICKET with DJI support, but never got an answer. Some say it might take up to a month to get a response. I eould really like to continue flying but I am not willing to cough another 1000$ for a new one, especially that this is not my fault what so ever.
I have put the video of the flight log and the video of the incident in the link bellow, so you can see for yourself
