Will do, the support from the community here was great. I'm going to pick up another one and go back to square one practicing this and learn from this experience. Even though it was lost in Florida, I will be mostly flying in a high frequency environment (Los Angeles) with frequent wind gusts...

Thanks. Sucks to lose this so soon but really have had some amazing footage made and it's addicting. May get the flight simulator and work on walking before running in the future.

Yeah I attempted to override the RTH as I originally set the altitude too high once I realized wind speed was too high at that altitude. At some point it entered FailSafe mode and my controller lost reception. I did attempt to manually return to home on Sport mode but clearly I clearly wasn't...

Thanks for the analysis. Clearly too high of wind to fly and I assume wifi disturbance is how the signal was lost and an auto-landing was done in the water. Very frustrating that it had to land in the water out of my control when there was so much land surrounding it to land on. I'll take more...

Thanks for the responses. Definitely a learning lesson not to run before walking. I managed to get some really good flights in Los Angeles with minimal wind and just got too comfortable with it too early on in a high-wind environment like Ft. Lauderdale near the beach. There was an error that...

Thanks for the response, it was within just a few minutes that I was unable to bring the drone home. Total flight time by the time it landed in the water outside of my control was just 7 minutes. Flight log is here: DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com
