So what happened? No fpv/OSD to check descent/battery levels?

Yeah, the guy did not know about the bubble. He was hitting it, 2000 M, and did not know what was going on. He than told me it is descending with low battery.

Lesson learned, he needs to review the books and do a little fast learning. Almost cost $$$$.

Truth, I fly mine over water 90% of the time. I told him it hit the bubble and he said, what's that? LOL, I said you spent all the dough and time doing mods and didn't read about it?

He didn't know there was a distance limit as well as a ceiling limit

I should have known that! When I saw the word "mods" I was thinking of major physical mods on the bird.
Duhhhhhhh... (!)
