I had a malfunction of my IRIS+ mid-flight after initiating RTL mode from loiter mode (also used circle mode at one point). The copter lost altitude several times whenever I tried to reinitiate RTL from stabilize mode. I managed to fly it in safely in stabilize mode, but close call.
I was wondering if someone could determine from my attached dataflash log what went wrong. I have the impression it was low battery (bad mistake if this was the case). I just want to know what was wrong so I can learn from it.
