A few minutes over this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O'Shaughnessy_Dam_(Ohio).

Everything was going great until I unexpectedly lost FPV. I couldn't see it because I was looking right into the morning sun. I couldn't hear it because of the water. I turned off the transmitter... I didn't see or hear it until it was about 100 ft directly over my head. This video is what the Return To Home looked like. Four seconds in is obviously when it decided to return :)

Weather was great today in central Ohio for flying....but my P2V+ isn't coming until tomorrow....just in time for the crappy weather for the rest of the week.
Are you using the Vision app version 1.0.40 ? Lots of discussion here about going back to 1.0.39 until they get the problems fixed.

Great footage!
My next flight, i'm going to for sure test out my RTH function and make sure it is working properly...
I can imagine what was going through your head when you lost control...
 
HarleyRed, I assume I'm running 1.0.37 since that seems to be the latest for iOS and I have auto updates turned on...
 
I don't know about the IOS app. There are apparently problems with the Android app version 1.0.40 that sound like the same problem you had. The solution so far for the android app is to downgrade back to 1.0.39 or 1.0.38 until they get the latest version fixed.
I just got mine today and it won't even power up :|

Edit:
Thanks to some help here.....I am powered up and ready to invade Canal Winchester....... ;)
