Flew from my front yard about 1/4 mile down the road (lots of trees) to a big open field. For the first time ever I got a low transmission signal warning and then immediately an Aircraft disconnected message. I waited for a few seconds thinking return to home will initiate. When it didn't, I pressed the return to home button. I did not get a verbal message telling me it was coming home, but the return to home button is blinking and making a ticking sound like it usually does. After 15 minutes of waiting, I knew it wasn't. Needless to say I freaked out a little bit. I hopped in my car and tore off towards the field. When I got there, there was my drone sitting in the middle of the field. It was in some tall grass; nevertheless the gimbal was absolutely fine.
I checked my return to home settings and make sure that it was set to return to home and not hover in place. So my question is why did it not initiate return to home when it lost signal? Am I confused or is that what it is supposed to do? I have manually initiated return to home in the past, but this is the first time that I ever lost signal.
When I got back to my house, I flew it up to about 100 feet and then have to return the home button. Voice said coming home and it started flying back towards me, so I know that the function is working properly. Any thoughts on this would be helpful. Thanks!
