And the pucker factor was...… high, extremely high or I can't watch.?

Yep! That was close, you’ll have to name it Gillette after that close of a shave. ?

I know hindsight makes it easy to say now, but when you accidentally go behind a hill, and FPV drops there is only one thing to do that will work in 99% of cases, and that is to take your hand off the directional stick, and begin a static ascent until you clear the hill and either get FPV back or can see your craft. Rise out of trouble, and most of the time you'll save it. RTH is a valid way to go IF you are 100% sure that your goto altitude will clear the obstacle, but that is sometimes quite hard to judge out in the desert !

But glad you got away with it anyway

Like they say 'what you can't see won't hurt you', but it could have hurt the H. Very close but what a photo to grab a screenshot just as it was going between the bushes. Johnno Hennessy. Keep flying on the green side of the Grass.

At least it wasn't a video followed by a photo of the H smashed up post! It lives to fly another day.

So.......have you found the setting to increase your return home altitude?
