Lesson learned

[Anzacjack]

I was flying some low level up the river when i lost signal after a couple of bends.
I had vision but control was sketchy. I made the mistake of long pressing the wrong button on the MC and put it into landing mode. I then lost everything and heart rate went up. After a while, up she pops and starts coming home where i was able to take over and land without inncident.
When i watched back the video i realised how lucky i got. The land command had it lowering right into the river at a point that was far enough away across rough terrain that i prob would not have found him again. Literally a couple of feet from the water, the lost signal failsafe kicked in and she rose up for the RTH. Once it got to height i had control again.

i think i was very lucky and certainly came away with some new knowledge. Its been many years since ive had an inncident and was certainly reminded about the dangers of complacency

and was certainly reminded about the dangers of complacency

Very true! Glad it did not go down another 2 feet!!

What a great feeling when it does what it's supposed to do. I was about a mile across a lake went around a bend behind some trees to look at a Dam when I lost everything, my heart rate went up and I thought this is it. After about a minute of waiting I heard the drone coming home and knew it was ok when it came into view on the Goggles. I only wish it hadn't lost video and stopped recording feed until it was about halfway home.
