Well on my 200th flight the Phantom decided she had enough . While out flying this evening getting some great sunset pictures, on my second battery and just hovering above, a fellow camper came over to show her kid . I let him look at the screen and then starting flying out in a big circle over the lake . Just wanted the kid to see it fly , I was at about 140' alt maybe 700'away over the lake when i got aircraft disconnected . All RTH settings should have sent the drone home , Didn't happen . the lady and her kid said they leave me so i could deal with the emergency .lol . Nothing i did brought the p4 back . just plain old disconnected and that's that's . there was wi-fi interference and a warning not to fly to far , but i get that all the time at this rv park in West Yellowstone over half my flights are from here , i had that during the other battery i just flew and had no issues nor did i on this flight until the aircraft disconnected .The drone was flying great . Looking at air data shows no issues signal strength was 100% ,it shows landing battery at 38% which makes no sense . I can see the flight map and it just dead ends over the lake about 600' away . It was Getting dark and i had lost sight of the drone dealing with the kid . tried powering off the controller and back on no help , tired changing channels no help , shut down dji and restarted no help , RTH no Help , preset return to home functions did not work for loss of single , just plain gone !!! Last known location 140' above the lake , assume now it's on the bottom of said lake
ON a brite note i do have a state farm policy for the drone , Guess tomorrow i make a call and put in a claim and then decide if i get another drone or not .
