I would never have thought that the rock was 50 ft high , that could have happened to anyone including me however the big mistake was going around the rock , this is what makes Remote Landing so difficult and why it is best to land not in a clearing but on top of anything that give you a better of line of sight. This serves as as a fantastic Example of how quick that signal can be lost . No amount of extra antenna would have helped as all drones are very prone to signal loss when blocked by building , let alone a tiny mountain.
Thanks for sharing .
