Flew my MPP this afternoon and had an unusual experience. Go4 app kept reporting "Aircraft Disconnected" even though the MPP was 3 feet away from me and hadn't even taken off yet. No interference warnings just aircraft disconnected. I cycled power on the MPP and the controller a couple of times and was able to take off. Got up to around 200' altitude and 250" distance and lost connection again. The MPP went into failsafe RTH and returned to the launch point, but would not land; it just hovered at ~2 meters.The RC was still disconnected and I had no control of the MPP. I had to reach up, grab it, and turn it on its side to kill the motors.
Later, after moving to a different location, I flew it again with no issues.
There was no obvious source of interference at the original location, but something clearly interfered with the RC's ability to connect with the aircraft, even from 3' away.
Anyone else have an experience like this?
