PCB said:Sorry to hear that, I just added a long quote about how I crashed mine, my question to you is, what did you do after you lost sight so it ended on the ground?
Did you power off or just try to land it?
Always ensure both switches are in the 'up' position before you take off. Not sure why you'd be flying it in what sounds like a confined area (Narrow space between house, phonelines, neighbors, trees etc). As eager as you are to get flying, take the time to take it to a wide open space. A park, anywhere away from obstacles. A crash can be a very expensive mistake!
If you do happen to lose sight of it, push the left stick up for several seconds before turning of the controller to activate RTH function. This way, there's a good chance it is high above any obstacles as the cannot manoeuvre around obstacles on their way back
