Aloha Bass,
That is the funniest mission represented here in ages - well except for anything Kneepuck writes. And I have no idea what could have happened. But, I am paying attention since a friend of mine just got a P3A that has not even flown yet.
In my own P3P case, I flew over a suburban area, which would be near or equal to the average technology of the neighborhood you flew over, and lost my signal - which I know works for well over a mile - at about the same distance. In this case I did press RTH and the P3 came back and we flew over a wetland where the signal was much better, but still had range limitations, until the battery was used up.
The only conclusion I could come to is that each, or certainly every other house in that neighborhood, had at least one cordless phone operating at 2.4 or 600 GHz - enough to interfere with my P3 considering the density of signals. Another point, made many times in this forum, is that the video signal at 500 GHz will go first with physical structure interference. So, if you loose video signal, there is still a good chance that you may have remote control over your P3A. If under those circumstances, if you press RTH (like you turn on your battery) and the RTH LED circle around the button begins flashing; you probably have your P3 returning to home. So far that is what happens to me, but then I could be wrong under other circumstances.
Happy to hear about the fortunate return circumstances though!
Aloha and Drone On! |
