RTH during a waypoint mission

[Saigondroner]

I regularly fly missions that lose signal, mainly over water, at low altitudes. Litchi will complete the mission, and then RTH automatically, or before (if you have radio contact, and can instruct the drone to do so) Triple check your mission points, settings, export and review a Google KML journey.......and check again. And set your RTH alitude as high as possible....that has helped me initiate RTH, whether mission is complete or not. Don't forget to check weather conditions, esp. if subject to gusts. I have never lost a bird yet, but every minute having no comms, video, or VLOS feels like a month.

If you're over salt water a lot, perhaps this might be something that might spare the dive:
