My neighbor and I setup a Litchi mission and made a huge mistake. There are power lines running behind our neighborhood that are about 135 agl. The mission was a simple one, waypoint 1 was to start at 200 feet, go to waypoint 2 about a mile out at 200 feet and then return back home at 200 feet. The problem was that we failed to set the final waypoint to 200 feet and it defaulted to 98 feet. The Phantom 3S obviously lost contact with the controller. Upon return and reconnect with the controller we realized the drone was at 125 feet. We immediately began an ascent to clear the power lines but as shown in the video the drone flew through the upper 2 levels of the power lines. We got lucky and learned allot.
Lesson learned, double check all waypoints before flying a Litchi mission.
