    how does it NOT ??? of course the app having a crash can cause a fly away... the app sends its own signals of what ever at that point. As stated in another reply, this is software, using on and off bit code, then transmitted over radio signals easily interfered with. The biggest link I have...

    DRONE DISCONNECTS / LOSES SIGNAL WITHIN VIEW OF PILOT, THEN SPLASHES INTO 120meter DEEP ALPINE LAKE...

    In design and theory and in MOST, BUT NOT all disconnects / loss of signal does the drone return automatically. Using a Samsung Galaxy Tab A and a Kindle Fire 8 loaded with Android 7 and 8, I had constant false messages of firmware mismatches. Some would pop up during flight. THEN the drone...

    I appreciate your time you have spent here, and I appreciate the response. Details in my description show 1) launch point 300 feet above water 2) flew down to -60 feet from start point 3) this is 240 feet above water, NOT 10 feet !!! However, you made a VERY IMPORTANT point regards to the...

    DRONE DISCONNECTS / LOSSES SIGNAL WITHIN VIEW OF PILOT, THEN SPLASHES INTO 120meter DEEP ALPINE LAKE... yes, it was that simple. I was in the middle of NOWHERE. NO cell service, no power lines, and flying over Lake Omak in Omak, WA where I was nearly the only human being outside, at least...
