[QUOTE="Virtual1, post: 72056, member: 4084"] Unfortunately it's probably hung up in a tree, I see lots of trees there. Strange that it would lose connection so close? Next time listen to the ATTI warning and don't take off until it has a GPS lock. If you can't GET a gps lock, don't leave line of sight. Cell phone and other radio transmitters are often placed on water towers, so you have to watch out that if you get close you don't lose GPS and possibly visual AND control links due to the powerful radio disruptions. I don't see a tower in that picture though, but if there's a tower nearby, it could have a directional link to another tower somewhere possibly many miles away, and if you're unlucky enough to fly into the path of that transmission, it can disrupt your spark's receiver even at a significant distance from the tower. (microwave links can really snipe you from a distance!) [/QUOTE]
