Was Flying this afternoon outside my house in an urban area , when my 7yo came to me insisting taking the control 
the conversation only lasted 10-12 seconds but it was enough time to fly the Phantom against the sun into an unknown orientation/height ... I could hardly hear the motors but in manual mode I wasn't sure where it was drifting to ... I got panic for a second or two ... loosing it in an urban area makes search and recover much more difficult task .... I then react.. I set the left switch completely down and pulled back the right stick ...... nightmare seconds where passing without spotting the drone ... but now I could hear the motors louder...... and then suddenly ... wooooshhhhh it came home .... from an unsuspected point ..... Home lock rocks..... I love it .... by the way last month I draw with a permanent maker arrows on the transmitter showing where to switch and which stick to pull .. to make it come home ... helps in panic situations .....
