Well I finally got the opportunity to get out and fly in the open area. Here in Panama City, they built a new International airport and so the old airport is deserted and obviously wide open. The only possible obstructions was a 100ft tree line just to the right about 3-400 yards out. I used Litchi waypoint to fly the mission and my line of sight seemed to be clear of those trees. Well I maxed altitude at 201 feet and all was fine until I was about 6200 ft out and I got the Litchi disconnect notice. Initially I still had video but eventually on the way back, I lost video also. I somewhat froze and wasn't sure what to do once it disconnected, but I could still see in video, it was still flying the programmed mission (undoubtedly a must have feature). I closed and re-opened Litchi, then I disconnected cable and reconnected it, finally on about the last 300 yard in, it reconnected, and boy what a joy to see her whizzing back home. The Litchi program that continues which the flight,j worked like a charm. What I want to ask is what should you due immediately upon disconnect? If I wasn't in a Litchi waypoint mission, things would have been a lot different and I want to be comfortable in my choices if faced with lost connection ever occurs again, which I know it will. I do have DBS mod installed. Thanks for your advice in advance.
