Flying over water. and started to hover and wouldn't return but went down in the sea. Any hope getting a replacement>
 
Only way you'd have a chance at getting a replacement is if you recovered your old drone.

Did you have lost signal set to Return to Home or did you have it set to Hover. Also Land is an option. Obviously over water Hover and Land are not good options.

Thanks. I am a new flyer. Had it for one month. Didn't change no setting. Perhaps lost signal but didn't fly far. I hope they will send me replacement
 
Check out your TXT flight log to see if it explains what happened. You can upload and view it online here. If you'd like other people to review and comment on your flight log, then please post a link back here after you upload it.
 
That's why, IMHO, its best to have insurance as opposed to DJI refresh. My SF policy will cover full replacement if this happens. I don't need to return the drone to DJI.

Just my 2 cents

I'm going to have to call SF and see what I need to make sure I'm covered. All of my policies are with them.
