Hey,


When I fly my drone to a long distance I feel afraid that at some point I will lose total signal with control and have no absolute image, should I be afraid? It's a stupid question

Can I keep trying to go further when I win a signal and get lost again, without anything happening?

As long as you set the Return To Home function to come home, then you have notthing to worry about, the aircrafdt will come back to you automatically when it loses signal.

Geebax is right,but if you set hover on place or land on that point you lose signal may be you´ll  get a rescue mission and crash the aircraft or it lands safely and you make a rescue mission by foot.

Hi. Thank you for reaching DJI Forum. You should not worry if you fly in a long distance that will end up losing the signal since it will give you a message in your app that you're going further. You may also refer to post #3. As long as you already set your RTH, it will automatically go back to you.

Hard to decipher this sentence, but know that when you lose FPV/telemetry you likely still have control - at least for a short while.  Obviously if you venture further away, you will eventually lose control too, and it will failsafe.  

Good luck.

Does it mean that if I go far and I lose signal and I don't have an image, the return to home will be activated automatically?

Yes, but you have two choices if that happens, set by the menu. The aircraft can return home, or it can stop where it is and hover. You need to ensure it is set to return home.

You need to go in to the RTH setings and make sure it is set correctly, it should also be 1 of your pre flight checks.\

Anyone else get a feeling that we will see more of Kylev? soon.....
