I've had a quick search through the forums for the last few months and this subject has come up several times. There have been no definitive suggestions as to the cause of the problem.
It does not appear to be due to compass miscalibration or loss of GPS signal, nor to the effect of magnetic or electromagnetic interference. There are plenty of videos of Litchi way-point missions in cities, with all the potential sources of interference such as steel re-enforced buildings, power lines, railways, ships, radio stations, etc, that have completed successfully. At the same time we have all these stories of the dreaded random switching to ATTI mode during Litchi way-point missions in open country, which happened to me. So I also have come to the conclusion that it is a software bug in Lichi, or some sort of incompatibility between Litchi and the RC. In future there is no way that I am going to fly Litchi way-point missions that take the AC out of RC range, so that I can always RTH when or if one of these worrying episodes occurs.
