Confusion?
Yes, It started with
"
i have had lost signal to phone quite a bit but ive allways had drone in sight so was able to control it back etc.."
You probably still have control, you just have lost signal from the Phantom to the Remote and or Remote to your mobile device.
"but lets say i loose phone contact with drone all together at say 400 metres away and it wont reconnect.. "
If you loose all contact with the Phantom for three seconds, the Phantom will automatically Start RTH.
If the Phantom is in RTH and you regain a connection from the Remote to the Phantom. But you don't know it because your remote is not picking up the signal from the Phantom and you are trying to activate RTH, you can end up canceling it.
You are waiting for it to come back, but it is just hovering waiting for you.
is there a way to return the drone home by just using the remote control?. if yes how is it done please.
Yes, if you still have control of it.
Those
Three seconds, can cause
Treeeed in seconds.
