Excellent. Thanks.

I have to ask at this point, is there a rule of thumb in terms of distance and mass for avoidance of metal that throw the compasses off? Or do we just sort of wing it and hope for the best?

Did you generate that graph from the flight record? I know for a fact that the controller was always set to Atti mode so this is getting even weirder.

Thanks for the comprehensive explanation, but I don't know what P-GPS mode is. I had the controller set to "A".

I still don't understand how "compass error" translates to antonymous flight. Oh also, I was in ATTI mode the whole time.

Here ya go, thanks. My flight map:

I thought that data was stored in the aircraft. I don't actually know how to access that data if it's in my iPad.

It smacked the church wall and went straight down. I'm just glad it didn't go through a window into someone's house.

Funny things is, I downgraded the firmware because of a previous low altitude crash with the latest FW where it just decided to make a beeline for some trees. Now I don't know what to do.

No log, no. I shipped the thing out right away for replacement.

Around 1:45, the thing just started flying itself. Even horizon was off and altitude dropped.

They weren't anywhere near the aircraft and I have to think if they collided, the aircraft would have basically dropped right then and there. Instead, it drops in altitude and then (which I watched) it does this circular arc right into the church.

No, no errors or warnings of any kind and I was a good 50 feet from the only two cars up there. No, I didn't recalibrate anything.

There I am, on my first paying gig with my P4P. Weather is great, a little windy, but clear and warm even. Even got a great platform to work from on top of an empty parking ramp. And less than 2 minutes into the flight, with the aircraft maybe 150 yards away, it suddenly decides to fly itself.
