Ok, so I've just got home from flying down the seafront over water, been doing this for a while now never have had a problem!
Today, my last flight, I was out to sea 4859ft at 62% and the rth switched on randomly saying lost signal; even though I have full signal showing on controller and hd! It wouldn't let me do anything, I tried to cancel the rth but it said WARNING:Command Timeout. nothing would work. The worrying thing was my drone was going the opposite direction ! Even though home was set where I was ! So in my mind I was thinking that's it, I've lost my 1600£ drone! Luckily it did turn around eventually and come home! But it stayed hovering in the air about 8 ft from ground! While it was there, we tried everything to get it, closing down the app, restarting the app, restarted the controller. Everything! I even done the emergency cut power from drone so it drops out the sky! Well that also didn't work. After 5 minutes we done another piggy back and got the drone, tried to power off with the battery but it still didn't work. Eventually the battery died out at 10% so i got the drone back in one piece!
It's scared me now! I don't know what happened! I had full view of the drone with the iPad, no disconnections ! Even though it said signal lost? Can anyone recommend what to do next? Or any help in why this happened? I'm scared to fly again until I know why this happened! I've been flying for well over a year now and never had a problem like this!
All software is up to date, all batteries up to date.
I'm using an iPad, I don't have a computer but I will try do get flight data record off by tomorrow and see what's going on!
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
