    losing remote signal flyaway! Help!

    Update: As far as it taking off to 1600 feet when coming home, I fixed that part. In the Phantom Software for some in the "Go-Home Alt" was set to 1667 feet. Strange. Anyways, I set it to 200 feet. So it shouldn't do that again. But why is it losing signal in the first place?
