Thank you for describing what was supposed to happen but didn't. Seems to me that it didn't function as it is supposed to.
BTW, moments after it disappeared behind a tall tree I stopped hearing the motor noise and then heard the crash into the brush/trees/forest. It wasn't just taken by the wind. It was swift (as in sport mode fast), sped off for a few seconds, and powered off and crashed back to the ground. I could hear it all happen. The powering off. The crash. I wish to hell it had gone in any other direction. I probably would have found it.
