[QUOTE="Tom Croley, post: 21882, member: 3843"] BIG DITTO!! This happened to me and I was very lucky to get my drone down safely. In my case the fog started at about 125 feet or so. I was flying at 9 feet and about 120 away...told it to RTH with about 50% battery left. It rose to RTH height of 30 meters and then just kept going up all the way to 400 feet. I switched to manual and it wouldn't come down, even with full down stick. It hung up there bouncing between 390 and 400 feet until the battery went red and it began a programmed landing. By the time it got down it was critical on battery.....flight log said 2% remaining. At least it didn't crash. Pictures are beautiful.... but risky. No more fog for me. [/QUOTE]
