[QUOTE="Virtual1, post: 89733, member: 4084"] Late advice I know but when the wind up high starts to take your drone away, you need to get it down FAST. Airpseed at that altitude can EASILY exceed your drone's top speed, and when it falls into Return To Home it will be going much slower than that and just get pushed farther and farther away from you until its batteries die. I lost a (thankfully very cheap) quad last year due to this, but in my case it was a lost cause. 100ft up it caught a powerful air current and I lost visual on it before I could bring it down. At least with the spark you can navigate with video and bring it down low enough to get it out of the higher speed air. [/QUOTE]
