Took the Mini2 for a short flight from the house towards the mountain behind us and got up to 240m elevation (I know it's over 120 but it was only about 20m above the tree tops). I noticed the drone flight indicator was showing the drone wobbling side to side and I thought it must be windy so I hit the RTH and as it was flying back I was constantly lowering it to maintain a reasonable elevation above the tree tops. Then I noticed a message across the bottom of the screen that said "motors overloading land drone". I recall reading a thread here somewhere and that message appeared when the props were icing up. So I cancelled the RTH and stopped the drone to check out a landing spot and the message went away. I then flew it back and all was well. I think I dodged a bullet today.
I was using my iPad Air and doubt I would have seen the message if I was using my phone. Funny thing is I have flown in a lot colder weather without incident. Today was 5C and I've flown in -15C. There were a few clouds today but they were way above my flight altitude. Whole thing seems odd but I'm glad I seen the message and didn't panic (this time).
