Hi I have a few questions that I have not been able to clear up by searching online.

1) If the app force closes/I receive a phone call/the phone/tablet turns off..... what will the drone do? will it return to home as the failsafe selection?

2)If the drone loses connection/I press return to home, do I have any control over the drone with the sticks? For example if the drone is returing home because I pressed the RTH button will my sticks do anything?

1. Yes, it will return home if it loses connection (your phone turns off say)
2. I don't think you'll have any control until you get your connection back. If your phone turns off, i think the RC controls will still  work, but if ur RC loses connection, you'll have to wait for it to get back into range to control it again

You don't need a mobile device to fly your aircraft. It will fly safely without one! You won't be able to see FPV, but that won't be a problem if your aircraft is in your line of sight (LOS). If you feel that you cannot fly it without the FPV click and hold the RTH button untill it beeps (about three seconds) It will come home. If you loose RC connection with the aircraft (not to be confused with video connection) and you are no longer able to control the A/C through your RC, the failsaft will kick in and RTH will be automatic without any input by you. Just remember...your mobile does not connect to the A/C....it connects to the RC and displays A/C and flight status the RC receives from the A/C.
