Yes. My first pilot error crash. It's going to put my flying down for 3 weeks while I fix the craft.
I was testing my build for the 3rd time and it was doing well in gps mode when I activated rth. The craft began flying away instead of towards.
I wanted to cancel rth and regain gps but didn't glance down at the tx. Flipped the switches by feel.
I very nearly lost the craft after it couldn't self level. It began going too fast while I maneuvered.
At least it was zipping at a low angle when it reached the ground, flipped over, and skidded on its top.
After I brought everything home I saw that the tx flight mode switch was on manual.
A learning experience for sure. Experience matters. I just got some. LOL.
