This is the first time in around 100 flights within a Year this happened.
I always fly to the max range, let RTH kick in and cancel RTH when I get a good signal back and fly into another direction.
Yesterday the following happened.
Flew 2 hours before and set new record for me with nearly 2300 meter.
Flew good 2000 meter (yes it it a P3S and I am in CE country with half the TX power).
RTH kicked in
Never lost video feed not even at 2000 meters - might get a bit choppy but still good enough.
Got control back 400 meter from home and turned 90 degrees for another flight.
At 1750 meter lost signal and RTH kicked in again.
Video feed was OK.
Flew back exactly the same route it came from.
Suddenly at 1000 meters (good 3000 feet - 1000 yard or 1 km)
the video got lost and the app turned to black an white (I think, but could be just the non video signal)
After waiting for a while I turned off the app and restarted it with no connection.
Wigggled the RTH switch on the controller and the RTH beeping came back.
Drone came home and decended without any control.
My quick start and landing area is a slanting rooftop with only limited unlcuttered free space and flat surface.
So I put the RC down and hoped the AC would not choose the close by sun collector to land on.
But I was in luck it came down between the collector and the table it started from, was easily caught by the leg and then turned the motors of by itself.
So my question is, If something like this should ever happen again, would it make sense to turn off and on the RC again or would the RTH then be lost for good?
If RTH is iniciated, does the AC do all the work by itself even if there is no connection to anything?
