[QUOTE="Nick R, post: 28880, member: 5322"] I decided to fly my spark today over an open field trying to see how far I can go with it before it loses signal and come home.. So on a fresh battery I let it flew thinking if it doesnt come home on its own.. I will hit RTH when battery hits 60% trying to be safe. About 2000 ft in.. I lost signal .. and sure enough it turned around and started coming home. But then it never came home... I ended up spending the next hour.. in a field looking for it. With the last know coordinates.. I eventually found it. If there is a DJI support person monitoring this thread.. I would love to know why my bird lost altitude and crashed. I am attaching a video... At about 1:00 min mark I lost signal.. and the bird turned around and started its climb to RTH altitude of 60m. Then at about 1:23 it begins its flight home. Then about 1:40 it rapidly lost altitude and eventually crashed. No bird strike.. no nothing.. Just gradually went down. Why ? Here is the youtube clip of what happened.
