I'd really go over all your settings and check your equipment.
The SuperX is a great unit, but 95% of fly-a-ways are user caused. (and I am NO DJI fanboy, just stating facts)
Make sure your fail safe is set up correctly, this is probably the #1 reason people have "fly a ways"
If your radio's OWN failsafe is set up improperly, the DJI RTH may never have a chance to kick in, and your copter is GONE.

I agree, I love the superX. What I am saying is.. your fly-a-way was most likely not a system failure but an error in set up. SO even with the SuperX, make sure your radio is set up properly for fail safe. Besides the superX FS being set up, make sure your actual radios fail safe is set to "RTH" switch on, sticks centered, throttle at 53%.

Sleepy, was just looking at the manual again and it doesn't say anything about throttle being involved in the fail safe setting.... page 19
is it mentioned somewhere else or needed?
if it flew away on dji and switching made it feel better makes since, it's more buffered in the sensors as in vibrations. i'd take a look at my vibration levels in superX and make sure there low, otherwise it's a matter of time before this one behaves similar.

Same here. Didn't know that throttle had to be set at x% for RTH. I just have my RTH switch set to trigger on in the event of a signal loss. Should I rebind with the throttle adjusted?
thanks

I didn't set mine (SuperX) to a specific throttle % and it works fine. Now I'm worried...
SleepyC is about as impartial an advocate for anything MR there is, me, not so much. Prior to the NAZA, fly-aways on any other controller was a rare occurrence, now thanks to DJI its part of the MR lexicon. I don't care why DJI's do uncontrolled flight, whether its user or setup errors, or drunk flying there are way too many occurrences.
Now when there's a problem with any controller its almost automatically classified as a fly-away, but I have not had, nor do I know of a single "fly-away" with the SuperX, PARIS MultiWII, OS-CC, HoverflyPro, or even my Gui 330X. To be fair the HoverFlyPro requires a little clarification, the GPS module never really worked so although it never caused me to crash it didn't aways go where I thought it was going so technically that could be considered a "fly-away.'
My point is we can use statistics and blame DJI's problems on everything but DJI and unsuspecting newcomers will continue to purchase DJI controllers and DJI will not be terribly motivated to correct the problems.

A friend has a SuperX by Xaircraft and sure enough, it crashed from 300 feet just recently. All motors stopped in mid-air. We are still trying to determine the root cause.
Assuming that the NAZA FC systems was at fault, moving away from it might be a good choice.
On the otherhand, if the problem is somewhere else such as the RC radio system or some configuration oversight on the hobby bench before flying flight, the problems will follow.....

So I finally got the SuperX in my hexacopter and all I have to say is wow. When in GPS hold it is extremely stable. It does not wonder like the Naza-M does. I always thought it wondered because of the hexacopter but this just proves the FC was the issue. Very happy with SuperX.
