Litchi missions not performing as programmed?

[rhunter04]

I have programmed several missions through the online mission hub and also programmed directly on the tablet that is connected to the controller. My initial testing is not encouraging so far
1. Waypoint - mission uploads and shows on screen, I verify and click on "play" or the "go"... the aircraft does not start the mission for about 3-4 minutes? then, in the middle of the mission, I lose connection... so reconnect and it continues on with the mission, but it is not shown on the tablet screen? and then photo results are not in focus...
2. Orbit - again mission loads but gives error "mission did not load" even though the aircraft will start on the orbit? video is not real stable and at random points, the camera gimbal will go full up and then full down with no input? programmed to stay focused on the POI point?

any ideas what I may do to correct these things?

Thanks

I'm relatively new to Litchi myself and have been using my Phantom as a guinea pig to gain confidence. So far, my mission planning using the web interface or my iphone7+ has been brilliant. The drone follows my waypoints to a tee. Make sure your default cruise speed is set to something realistic or that you don't have a single waypoint in the route incorrectly set. I did that once, it arrived at a waypoint and basically stopped. Looking at the waypoint, I set its speed to the next waypoint at .2mph which basically stopped it. Another thing I should have noticed in that case was the total route display time showed something WAY too long, which is another clue something is amiss.

But for me, so far so good with Litchi. Love it's ability to fly a complicated path and keep camera focus on a given point of interest... pretty cool from a cinematography standpoint.
