[QUOTE="ryan161286, post: 75501, member: 15037"] It wasn’t foggy , it was a fairly clear day, although when it got to the height it did when I initiated RTH I noticed it looked cloudy on the camera, I appreciate all of the advice, however, I had ensured all those steps had been done before takeoff, also I had app57% battery remaining when I initiated the RTH, instead it dropped around 65% signal almost instantly and dropped all connection, a few seconds later it increased altitude from around 650ft to 1150 feet, I had absolutely no control of my drone whatsoever and on the split moment where it came back on connection I had tried to cancel the RTH to bring the drone straight back down to decrease the altitude it failed the command and the error was a timeout, I have searched high and low around the area where it supposedly landed which was by the takeoff point and I extended the search wider around the immediate area and across local fields etc After looking at the flight logs there were no magnetic interference the weather was clear and not foggy, the satellites were on average 15 and until the RTH was started I had 90-100% signal, I was flying around 35ft away from the takeoff with altitude of 600-650ft (I appreciate this is above the uk legal limit now hence why I RTH) I do appreciate the advice though as I realise there are a lot of factors which can make it user error when flying, on this occasion I truly believe there was nothing more I could have done to ensure I made no mistakes [/QUOTE]
