I had an interesting flight this evening at a local park. I built the mission in the Litchi mission hub a couple of days ago. I wanted to check for firmware updates via the DJI app first because I hadn't flown in a couple of days and I have been using Litchi exclusively for the past couple of weeks with absolutely no problems. Neither app would connect right away like the usually do. After a compass calibration all was good and I got Litchi connected. I switched to waypoint mode and loaded the mission and started it. I got a signal loss warning for a few seconds but the aircraft continued its mission flawlessly around the park and returned to the first waypoint. I went to take some still shots of the sunset and began to get some lag on the video feed. The low battery warning went off and I held the RTH button on the remote and nothing happened. The i hit the RTH button in the app. Again, nothing. I then got a message that the RTH had failed. The aircraft is nearly directly over me at about 150 ft altitude when I realize I have lost control completely. I flipped the mode switch to Sport and back again a couple of times to no avail. Battery is about 13% at this point. I panicked a little, realizing that my battery is getting critical and I have no control. It seemed like an eternity but finally the feed smoothed out and I was able to regain control and land manually. Obviously, I had some signal/data loss. Just wondering if I could have done something different to regain control quicker. Check out the flight data in the link below.
