Hi Dave,
loss of signal can be caused for several reasons. How you point the antenna`s of the RC, what is in between (trees, concrete buildings, etc), other radiowaves, ...
They can be momentary and you gain reception again. Before you send your drone out, always wait for the confirmation of the RTH set.
I had a disconnect with my first drone, a Mavic pro (first edition) in iceland. The craft was in VLOS and when I gained control again, it was already flying towards me.
Never had problems with my M2P or Mini 2.
Do some checks before you fly out:
- check for damaged props
- check warning messages like "compass calibration", ...
- check the drone sets his RTH point
- check if it drifts when you hover in front of you
I had no RC experience when I started to fly a drone in 2017. I'm not into RC. For me it's mainly for photographing. In the time flying DJI drones, I feel they are quite safe if you're just be sensible.
I think flying an RC model is much more difficult than flying a DJI drone. |
