Was out flying a 16 minute waypoints flight round an 18 hole golf course at 200 feet but what I had not noticed was trees had really grown a lot higher since i was last there on a mound in the centre and I lost communication which showed the drone stop round behind the mound halfway round the waypoint route. The default was set to RTH on loss of signal so I waited but the drone never returned. I went round to where the signal stopped but it was heavily wooded and I could not find the drone. I will of course go back to the area but I do not expect any luck until the leaves start to thin out...very sad as I have had 2 great years with the Mavic Air.
Lesson learned...ALWAYS have a quick look round even if you have been there before before automating the flight with waypoints.
