Lost drone

Why did my drone not return when it lost signal using controller? I thought evo 2 did this automatically.

It may depend on your settings in teh explorer app.

This happened to me this past April when the drone was 1600 feet away with direct line of sight during a smart orbit. Flew into the side of a mountain. Autel did honor the warranty.

Did you find it ? It could have been caused by a number of things. My Evo II Pro RTK V2 is 9 months old and has been rock steady. It's my first UAV and was recommended by a friend who has the same. I'm no expert in UAV use, but I have a checklist for every flight and I'm constantly watching all flight parameters.

Although I haven't encountered this problem, I found that one of the most important procedures for me is battery level management. It keeps me sane ! I'm very conservative on my battery levels. I've got mine set at 20% level warning with the critical set at 15%. I know this reduces my flight times for mapping missions, but it's one less item on my checklist that I don't worry about. I also make sure all my batteries have full charge the night before.

I hope your Evo is under warranty or you have insurance.

This was a gift, so I am unsure of any warranty opportunities. I've yet to even locate it.
