These are well known here, but I learned 1st hand today:
1. Motor ESC alert: I've had one of these alerts previously while doing hand recovery, but today got one when merely releasing the sticks in Position mode going from full up on left, and full forward on right. I can only assume that pitching up and stopping ascent was enough to trigger. Maybe the setpoint is just a wee bit too low. Inspected props and flew two more flights without issue, but eased off the control sticks while in "P" mode.
2. WiFi short range: Had three RTH initialisations today due to signal blockage by tall trees. Cancelled and recovered without issue. Standing in a fairway, while flying several fairways over, separated by tall trees. I would estimate range at 300+ yards. I've flown the mini much further away than that before, but terrain was much more open.
