Today I was flying and my phone rebooted itself during the flight. As it happened my Mavic was close by so I was easily able to continue to use the controller to bring it home easily.
However it made me think what would happen if the same thing occurred when it was near the limit of LOS. Would the app make connection again when I reload it and if so would a new home point be set or would the original one still be there ? If I can't get the app to reconnect is hitting Return to Home on the controller the best thing to do ? I have one of the Flytron strobes to help with visibility but I would hate to fly off in the wrong direction and then lose visual contact !
