Hi, thanks for your reply. I was fortunate enough to be able to retrieve my drone. But still have no idea why it lost signal. It was really my first flight away from home and I might have just panicked and backed it into the tree.

Thanks to all for all the advice. I’ve got it. With your help I managed, with Google Earth, to find the property identity. Fortunately the owner was very friendly and helpful, climbed the tree and rescued the drone. So alls well that ends well, thanks again all.

I did say I “think” so. But I might well have been confused. But I have learnt a lot from these discussions, thanks again, appreciated.

Thanks Meta. What I do not understand though is why could I not get it to react to the controls or RTH and all I could do was land it even though it was so close to me with no interference and was within line if site until the lat few meters of the decent, could it have been something faulty on...

Here’s the file.

Hi again Meta, I’ve got the flight records. I’ve taken the liberty of sending you them all so the you can see how much of a newbie I am. I would be grateful for you assistance in identifying why I lost signal and had no control over the drone and could only bring it down in the inaccessible...

Hi Meta, I’m really sorry you feel that way, I fully intend to attach the data, however I have many other things that I have to do and will get around to it when I can. Thanks for your time anyway and if you’re still willing and able to analyse my data when I attach it I would very much...

Thanks appreciated. Will do.
