Strange (and scary) go home behavior

[cbrownknox]

Tonight I took my PS3 out for my first night flight. Everything was going pretty good. I realized the battery was getting low so I told to come home. At first I didn't think it was moving. Then I looked at my phone and realized it was rising. The drone was at 400 ft when I hit go home. I rose to almost 1000 ft. Then when it was coming home it went right past me. When it started saying "landing" i started to panic. I took control back and brought her in manually. My question is... is this somehow normal? I was using the DJIgo app.

There are several files from tonight, although I only flew once. Which one should I upload?

You'll know which log is the correct log after you upload them and view them on the map.

I think this is what you are looking for.

I don't know if you need it, but I included a screen shot too.

That flight tops out at 393 feet and has no RTH

What height is RTH set for?
There has always been a glitch in the app so that your RTH height is in metres even if everything else is showing in feet.

I posted the wrong trip by accident. The correct one follow. I think I have it set for 500. I assumed it was feet because that is what everything else is.

If you have 500, that will be metres (1640 ft) which will explain the issue.
It's a strange glitch that DJI have never fixed but you'll probably remember it now.

Seems like a pretty big glitch.
