My quad was flying an autonomous mission flawlessly. I had it doing a set of radius loiters and when complete it was supposed to return to launch. All of the sudden it flies off and ends up 70ft up in a tree. Within a few seconds a police car that was about 200ft away speeds off with blue lights flashing. I ran an analysis on the log and it said that there was a compass failure. The log said there was a sudden change in the magnetic field of 38%. I should have landed the quad before it hit the tree, but I kept thinking that it was going to turn back. Had to call a tree service to get it down. Broke an arm and my camera gimbal, but have repaired everything. Could the police radio have caused the flyaway?
Test: Compass = FAIL - Large change in mag_field (37.84%)
