Hi Guys . Haven’t given up yet but the search has not turned up the drone . Thanks for all of your time , effort , and obvious expertise in trying to help me undo a rookie mistake . Searched again this morning starting at the last ping then going in ever increasing circles . Also searching in tracks parallel to the flight log track . I was on the last ping location within 15 minutes of loss and would have thought that my drone and controller would have reconnected if they had been in close proximity . Controller and drone had at least 50 percent battery so I’m starting to think that the drone continued forward motion . Anyways , I’ve used up enough if your time and think I will soon be chalking this up to a hard lesson . Thanks again , all ! TC
