Hi
I was in South Dakota yesterday near the Badlands. I flew my drone for 8 mins. Seemed kinda of hot when it came down (It was 65 degrees outside). I have flown 100's of times for years and never had a problem. The next flight less than 30 mins later. I went to fly the drone low to the ground and then go over a "cliff" and expose a canyon. The drone flew out over the ledge, then about 30 feet off the ledge, the RC2 read "Aircraft Disconnected" and it plummeted down to the canyon floor (I would say it was at least an 80-foot drop). No way to get down the canyon and the drone was lost. But I am really trying to figure out why it happened. I see the logs in my RC2, it shows the flight but not familiar with if I can see the motors stopped or what happened. I have had a drone lose signal before and usually it just stops and lets me reestablish a connection. Someone near me who was watching (as I was looking at the controller) said it just stopped and dropped like a rock. I really appreciate any feedback or guidance anyone has.
Thanks
Bob
