And my Iris+ just went away...

Sad day. After good trials with original battery, very easy loiter mode, stable, gentle landing... real pleasure.

Today I changed to spare battery (Turnigy Multistar 5200 mAh 3S 11.1V). Switch on, proper blanking green, but as soon as I give some throttle the Iris jumped approx 20m in the air and started to run straight like crazy. Impossible to follow. Lost.

Do you think only the battery change could have done that ?

    I'm really sorry to hear that.  Changing batteries normally would not cause the IRIS+ to do something like that.  Did you have telemetry connected?  Any chance of any logs?

      "little to no chance" ?

      We have a saying here, it says "if a bullshit is possible, it will happen. If it is impossible, it has already happened".

    I'm so sorry to hear about this. I would not give up the search. I'll post again if I can think of any ideas. Again, so sorry to hear that, man.
