Hi Guys.I am new here vand have a P4.What i would like to know is this ?.If i upload a Litchi Mission to my P4 and while flying i lose contact with the P4 and RC will the P4 just continue the mission and come back to the last wayponit of the mission ?

Thanks in advance.

It will complete the mission and it will end it with whatever instructions you entered, RTH, hover etc. The mission is loaded onto the drone and will fly independent of the Tx.

Yes. It will continue on to the last programmed way point and finish with what ever last command was chosen.

Just a small but rather important consideration. "Speed Changes" at way points require a connection to the remote. If connection is lost than any programmed speed changes will not happen. This can be an issue if a pilot sets a high speed to insure that the mission is completed within the constraints of the battery. So, if connection is lost the Phantom will continue at it's current speed. However programmed Altitude changes will happen without connection to the RC.


From Litchi:
Waypoint Settings

• Altitude: The altitude of the waypoint relative to the elevation of the aircraft where it took off. The waypoint's altitude is also shown above the waypoint marker on the map.
• 
  
• Speed: The speed at which the aircraft will travel from this waypoint to the next. By default the aircraft will use the mission's cruising speed setting, but the cruising speed can be overriden for each waypoint using this setting.
  Warning This setting is only in effect when the aircraft is in range of the remote controller. If signal is lost during the mission, the aircraft will continue the mission at the speed it was travelling at when it lost signal.
