[QUOTE="Mr Geek, post: 75249, member: 15144"] I have found that the Spark will reconnect on it's own and is very persistent in trying. Once it loses communication and begins RTH It won't cancel RTH mode unless you manually cancel or take over control of it yourself. Many times when flying low to the ground and then descending down over a ridge, with the drone on the far side from the controller, it is very easy to lose signal especially if you lose line of sight between them. This happens even when the drone is relatively close. In those situations, when automatic RTH begins due to loss of signal I will hold the ascend/descend stick up (ascend) to do two things. One is IF you want to continue flying then you will want to cancel RTH when communication is restored and one way to cancel RTH mode is to simply take control of the drone by moving the sticks, in this case holding the UP stick up. The second reason is so the first command the drone hears upon reconnecting is to ascend in elevation, away from the ground/obstacles, as well as improve signal propagation between it and the controller.
