So this is fun. 
Started Litchi after reinstalling - would not activate recording or allow change to camera. Gimbal works.
Shut down Litchi and started DJI GO 4 - camera and recording works.
Shut DJI down, restarted iPad, restarted Litchi - camera doesn't work.
Shut down Litchi, bring up DJI and of course camera works.
This time I simply move DJI into the background and launch Litchi - camera now works.
Ran the mission twice and it ran great with the exception of the two issues that I'm trying to figure what causes it (gimbal nodding its head at waypoints, not resuming speed even after signal regained).
So It's getting dim and I decide to play. I had joked with my wife about using the MP for a leaf blower. So I fired it up, got it up about 2 feet and ran it slowly down the driveway clearing leaves. I actually went into garage and backed it out and got about 12 feet into driveway and moved it into yard.
It then did the exact - I mean the exact dang thing it did when it crashed at the bridge over a month ago.
It started rising slowly and when I went to bring it down it zoomed straight up, hit some branches and crashed. Broke the right rear arm where it attaches to the motor.
Thank goodness it did not take out the gimbal again - although I had to reseat the gimbal stabilizer board.
I went to look at the airdata and - dang. Remembered that I had not re-entered the airdata token when I reinstalled Litchi. So once again no flight data. iTunes of course removed the functionality to download files so I can't get at the flight data. Frustrating when technologies conspire.
I had hoped since DJI was still running in the background but no way to tell.
So - I was not even 2 feet away when this happened - under the edge of a tree but mostly in the driveway where I get 12-16 satellites usually. Signal loss is not an option.
Ordered a replacement arm with motor for $35 - I count my blessings.
Any clues why it just went batpoop crazy on me again?
