This has happened on my latest flight which was Monday prior to the latest Firmware. Flights have been pretty normal. However, when I lose the streaming video signal, not the RC signal, my iPad screen goes dark. I have to tap the screen to bring it back. Anyone else experience this?

iPad Mini 2
iOS 8.3

Happened on this flight.

Since the new update, I get the grey "disconnected" message on the top maybe twice today.

Thanks! I upgraded my firmware tonight and ran into a few other issues. Need to make some test flights before I get brave again!

Just happened to me tonight with the video feed using IOS (Mini Pad 2). Got the grey "Disconnected" on the entire screen. I was doing some controlled tests in winds and testing how much of a vertical drop when going full forward with no ascend.
I was in a very controlled open environment and was out maybe 150 yards and lost the video feed, but still had control over the bird. It finally came back on after about 5 seconds. If this happens, I would suggest you let off the sticks if in GPS mode. ATTI, you better know your surroundings if you do not have a visual.
