    RTH connection lost or remote died

    This has been my experience as well - I assume it is to avoid landing on an unsuitable surface if you are able to restore the connection between the controller and the drone. If the battery decreases to ~5% (correct me if I'm wrong) it will autoland regardless.

    Spooky Action at a Distance

    Slightly off topic but... I would avoid sending stuff to dji at all costs! lol They've had my mavic for almost 3 months and it's still not repaired! (Yes I did pay them) You would think that a company making so much money would be able to improve its services alongside its products...

    Maiden Flight -GPS issue

    Nope - definitely not possible... however... you can use a torx screwdriver to unscrew one side of the grippy things check out this thread - DIY mod for using a phone with case attached

    Maiden Flight -GPS issue

    Here is one of my flight logs where the gps drops (300 feet in the air so no interference) Here is your flight log (flight 10) Looks exactly the same... This is definitely something DJI needs to fix

    Only getting 2000 ft before weak sluggish signal. Is something not set right?

    I think it gets you to the point of needing more battery before you need more signal... so... however far that is =)

    High voltage powerlines and radio signal

    I have flown over powerlines ~1500 feet from me and taken the drone out to ~10k feet... It does have an effect but I don't think you have much to worry about =)

    Gimbal motor overload

    Through DJI assistant Windows - EXE Mac- DMG Also - as @Glidetime said, it would be wise to calibrate IMU and compass just to make sure they aren't causing the issue

    Did you happen to grab the .dat file from the drone before you sent it away?
