I've read some threads on the Tello flying away. I can imagine that my first flight outdoors would be pretty disappointing if it was my last flight until I could get a new Tello. So, why do they fly off? And, how to prevent that from happening. Note that I have not flown my Tello yet. I got it for myself for Christmas and I expect to fly it a good amount indoors before I do take it outside.
Some of what I've read, this has happened at dusk where the explanation seems to be that the vision system (VPS?) can't pick up the environment and it flies off. When this happens, why can't you just fly it back using the controller? I saw a video and the guy was on a bridge and it flew off. Comments were that the water and the structure of the bridge kept the VPS from knowing where it was. Again, is the Tello so dependent on the VPS that it overrides commands from the controller? Does it just happen so quick that it's a bit of flyer error? I'd appreciate understanding this better before I go outside. Also, can I replicate this inside and practice recovering or am I just not understanding this well.
Thanks.
