Power plants sometimes send a burst of electrical current thru the power lines. The reasoning is the Burst can clear limbs and stuff with out sending workers out. Sometimes after a storm you can actually hear the lines purging and moving around. Perhaps this can make interference. I fly under...

If you were standing in the middle of trees you probably lost signal or had weak signal. Also the antenna should always be adjusted while flying in places like the one you choose. Make sure your antenna tip never faces your drone for it will loose signal. Watch some you tube videos on how to...
