In the midst of my second flight of my Onyx Black Mavic Air, while it hovered at 125 feet, the controller lost connection to the aircraft. The message said no visual signal, then I realized that there was no information about the aircraft at all. I disconnected and reconnected the cable, stop and restarted the app, manically pressed the return to home button, as I stood helpless directly under the aircraft. This situation continued for at least 15 minutes, there was no wind and the temperature was 30 degrees F, as I expected it to just stop and fall 120 feet, I considered how I might try to catch it before it hit the pavement. I use an Apple iPad as my view screen connected to the mini/cable charge plug on the side of the controller. I have all the available firmware and software updates and I am terrified to fly this wonderful Christmas present.
I do not know what I did, but the aircraft started to descend, I can only say that this is not an experience that anyone should experience in the blind. I have since seen a flurry of posts that say that it has been happening since this experience, about this bird that since it was released, this has been a problem. What is the problem, what should I check or replace? I hope it is more than silence. I know there are thousands of hobbyist that are flying the Mavic Air, I am anxious to join them, but you have to help me get beyond this PANIC.
