What do you think about this....
I flew two normal flights yesterday and then I had this disconnection experience.

I wanted to push my boundries out a few hundred feet for the 1st time, so I flew down the field. When I reached a point 805 feet away, I rotated to look around, and then, I thought I saw a brief flash in the upper left that said "No GPS", and then then it just said "disconnected." There was no image on the screen and due to the distance and the background ground clutter, I could not see the spark. Notice in the flight log how it suddenly jumps from 805' away to 300+ away in one sudden jump. (fast spark ha)
I was determined NOT to press the magin RTH button so I just took a breath and remembered which way the spark was pointing when the screen when blank. Best I could recall, it was pointed in my direction so I carefully increased the altitude a little being very careful not to rotate. Then I applied forward stick in faith trusting that it would just fly my driection until it reconnected. I also started walking out in the field in the direction of the spark. Since I'm 70 and don't see or hear very well, I could neither see nor hear the spark. I was determined not to panic.
After walking about 100 feet or so, and allowing about 2 minutes to pass, it finally reconnected about the same time that I finally spotted it in the sky. I flew it back to my starting point, while following behind, and landed safely.
My setup: Ipad Mini 4, RC Controller, No cable, all recent upgrades. We DO have a lot of wifi in our area so I am thinking it disconnected due to wifi interference and the distance. Don't know.\\
Just noticed. That is a really OLD image in the log from google or whatever. Must be 2006 or so.
