A few days ago I was flying my Neo. A tad of wind, but nothing crazy. Suddenly, my neo took off like a bat out of hell. Unresponsive and flying away at full speed.
I was able to control it by switching it to sport mode. It was quite the adrenalin rush.
Then, one week later, it did it again... only this time it did not respond to the sport mode switch and it flew away.
It landed a few blocks away and fortunately I was able to find it... not a ding on it and it flies ok... but I'm losing confidence in getting it up.
If this is a software glitch (which I believe it is), then DJI needs to fix it ASAP!
Here's the video from the second time it happened:
UPDATE:
After reviewing a lot of things, the error I got was "max power load reached".
Did a lot of research on this one... and it turned out to be the propellers. I bought those fancy colored ones and they were causing an issue with the drone.
Switched them back to the originals and everything is working fine now. No more errors or alerts so far.
