Glad to know you had it back. May I know why it hit a tower? Did it go by itself like crazy or just low RTH altitude set?

Does RTH work in ATTI mode?  Losing RC connection and the drone going into ATTI mode sounds like doom.

Glad your drone was back. I think you can provide the data to the support and locate the problem.

Glad you find your drone. Did it work well? If not, please send it back for check and start a case.
