So, had a window to fly this morning. Went to the football field I’ve flown the previous 2 tines I’ve flown my Spark. Have had no issues before. First battery, about at the 8 minute mark, AC lost connection with RC and went into RTH mode. I had no control during RTH. When it lost connection I was about 20 or 30 ft away and maybe 10 or 15 ft high. I had previously taken it up to about 350 ft and did a slow pan around. Then took it up to 400 ft before bringing it down, all without incident save for the app telling me I had reached my limit at 400 ft. I thought I was taking video but there was none to be found on my sd card or cache. A few photos but no video.
Once my Spark landed all on it’s own right where it had taken off from I turned it off and then back on. It reconnected with my RC as if nothing had happened previously. I was connected to the RC to my iPhone 7S via OTG cable with WiFi turned off on my phone. Burned through 3 more batteries without further incident after that.
I looked at the flight log of the first flight and it showed no warnings before losing connection to the RC. At that point, the log just stops, no further entries. The app showed no telemetry info the whole time it was in RTH to home mode, no fpv, no stick control, nothing. I guess I’m just lucky it didn’t take off.
