" I was standing in the open, less than 10feet from the take off spot and in clear line of sight to the aircraft, and had antennas positioned correctly."
2 questions:
How do YOU position the antennas correctly?
And YOU could see the bird, but your remote is 40cm(ish) lower then your eyes.
How would habe been the view from there?
Nidge mentioned already, green "stuff" is messing with the signal. at first the video goes down, a little distance after that, the rest of the connection goes down.
To the RTH question, I am not sure how long it needs, till the app asked for "RTH Now?", after feed went down. But this is not a auto-RTH(afaik)
Auto RTH would it be, if the remote does not have a connection (3 secs, methinks), or the app chrashes (20 secs, methinks), or the battery is at the limit for the distance and RTH altitude settings.
To test, if it is a problem, or "just" trees in the VLOS between RC and Spark, but not in your eyes VLOS, try that with focus on this situation
At least at the max distance, you had a 45° angle from homepoint to bird
calculate with your distance from the treeline and the height of the trees, if the birds "vlos" could have been compromised!
Out of my experience, just "green stuff" near this remote/bird line can temper the connection.
How much humidity was in the air, that day? |
