Hi All,
Just a quick note (not a whinge) that i was flying my P3A today and was having a great flight.
I was at approx 2.3km from "home" and was surprised to still have 100% coverage on both HD and Controller. However in the next second (litterially in a second), i had no reception. zero - complete disconnect from aircraft.
But heres the kicker, i was able to still fly without LiveView, i was able to turn the aircraft around, and start to fly back towards me. I recovered ~300meters and then it appeared to RTH.
Luckily i was flying out in the open ( with nothing around me) and RTH happened and went upto 80 meters and came back safely. Obviously along the way i reestablished Video and Remote Control and all was well.
My questions are:
1: Why does it go from 100% (indicated) reception to nothing - why did it not go to 75% -> 50% -> 25% etc....
2: why when no reception (apparent disconnect on RC and LiveView) can i still fly it back
3: why when flying it back and closer to "home" does it then RTH
As for Question 3, i can assume that interference just caused it, but i was flying back along the area that i traveled so i would have expected to run out of reception on the way out.
Whats your thoughts?
