Ok, this is a new experience for me.
Mini SE ...
Approx 1200 metres away
I got a warning and rth, which I cancelled, as I had flown in this area many times, and had heaps of battery
Then the screen froze, went black and white, and I got a notification 'Aircraft not connected to controller'
I held the RTH button, and hoped it had actually gone into rth mode, but status still showed 'not connected', so I really had no idea what was going on.
I pressed 're-pair to aircraft' but I was then asked to press the button on the drone.
So I just sat there hoping that it was actually coming home, and not just sitting stationery somewhere waiting for the battery to run out.
After about 5 minutes, I could hear it overhead, and it was descending to land.
When it got down to about a metre or so, it was a metre or so away from the pad.
I then discovered that I still had full control of the drone, even thought the transmitter was still telling me 'Aircraft not connected to RC'.
The transmitter was still frozen in black and white, showing the view where it obviously believed it had lost connection.
TX battery was full, and drone about 50%.
Anyone know what went on here" I did think I had lost another drone ....
