After dealing with the errant blob of solder and the replacing the bits that fell of the BL-Ctrl board all seemed to be progressing quite comfortably. I happened upon a vid from good ole Holger that explained the Vario Altitude option and immediately adjusted one setting to include that as it looked good.
Then off to the field this morning. Started off with the previous Height Limitation mode setting and all was normal. Switched over to the Vario Altitude mode and again, everything looked fine. So flew around a bit and then suddenly the Octo went apesh1t in the air with violent pitching and looking like it was going to try upside-down flying. It did not seem to respond to commands very well but eventually I got it down (in the muddy ploughed field next door) without any damage.
After cleaning the mud out of the ends of the arms I tried again and everything was fine.
Huh?
And then it suddenly went A/S again and flipped on its back. WTF
