Welcome from Chicago the Windy City. This forum has pilots from all over the globe, with different abilities, and are willing
to contribute to the group. I like to encourage preventive information, find my drone, and log file retrieval, good to know when aircraft is lost, and how to find it again, But about knowing and understanding what are the most causes of flight control problems. I won't name them all, but #1 Wind speeds in excess of the design limits of the aircraft. #2 Lost / damaged props or motor problems, leading to loss of propulsion. There are four more, which cause flight control issues. One very important way of preventing fly away aircraft is having a Emergency procedure. What to do when faced with a emergency situation, a set of circumstances one finds oneself in. For instance, Weak control signal, your drone is out of VLOS, what are the options.
Having a Flight check list is very help full, I use six, check lists, for instance , when is the last time I checked the Rotorblades ?
Am I cleared to fly? System settings, Max altitude, RTH if battery is 10%, is home position recorded. Please Fly Safe.
