Thanks for the advice mate! Unfortunately the number was clear as day on the side of the drone and it was also one of the houses that I dropped a flyer to. Yeah I've got a documents about the laws around keeping something that's not yours but let's just hope it doesn't come to that haha Yeah...

I've got a video from the next day too but in that one it's no longer there. Had my phone number on it which they haven't called so still thinking about how to go about it. I think I'll as you said just go over armed with these images, and ask politely and go from there.

Think I've found it!

No worries, thanks for that. Had my phone number written on it and I've handed out flyers to the 10 or so surrounding houses, so fingers crossed it's in someone's bushes or something and they haven't gardened yet. Also searching through drone footage from above has yet to assist. Thanks...

Hey mate sorry to bother you again. Was just having another look at the flight as as shown in attached video the time until force landing is rapidly going down, then at about 17 percent starts quickly going up (I'm guessing due to the wins dying down). Do you think that due to this it...

Thanks heaps for this message and your advice. I appreciate it more than you can imagine considering you had no need to bother with the effort. I'll do exactly what you've suggested and once again, really appreciate it

Thank you so much for this, you've restored my faith in droners. I have a friend with a mavic 2 that he's flown the route multiple times and recorded for me so I'll start to sift through the footage now. Once again thanks for putting in the effort to help instead of shaming me for the errors I...

Thank you Paint Rock Drones, once again I'll definitely take on board what you said because I appreciate being talked to in a civilised fashion. To the comment above.. I'm not sure if you people just want to be your own little club and discourage everyone else from sharing your hobby or? It...

Alright pal I've got better things to do than argue with people online but let's just understand what's going on here. So I've had the drone for probably less than a month, so I suppose I am what you referred to as a 'noob'. In fact, this is the first drone forum I've ever engaged in. Because of...

Jeepers came here for a bit of help... drone people are mean! Yes it's labelled so fingers crossed. But wowza, some of you sound like you'd be real fun at a party.

So it looks like from 20% to 15% it flew about 200m , so would I be correct in saying it probably flew roughly another 200m before being forced to land?

Yep, as I said usually I'd have the video and be able to guide it home with the controller as its force landing. But thank you :)

Yeah I did notice that, but that windows warning displays all the time and it still manages to get home. Without wind it's return home speed would usually be about 37kmph and it was coming home at around 30kmph so the windows wasn't impacting too much. I guess I have a straight line of about...

What happened mid flight were periodic disconnections due to buildings being in the way. The final disconnect was due to mobile phone dying. Obviously i was returning home when my phone died. I was only 600m away from home, 15% battery left and 80m in the air so would have 100% made it home...
