A little history - I've had this plus for 3 weeks. Flown my H480 for a year. Not new to drones!
Yesterday while flying thru 2 batteries I encountered lose of signal twice but just momentarily, concerning but not alarming.
Today I went to fly, at a location I've flown many times, and never got off the ground! No telemetry (2.4) signal at all! I tried all I could think of including rebooting. Nothing worked. 2.4 indicator was red and had nothing. I even switched out the antennas (didn't think that would work) to no avail. Frustrated I packed her up and went home.
So, I got home and turned everything on and she connected like normal. Thinking heat might have been a problem (I am in FL) left it sitting in the sun for 30+ minutes. No problem, she never lost connection. So, I put the props on and hovered in my yard for a full battery, no problems.
Needless to say my confidence in the PLUS's reliability at the moment is shaken. Up until yesterday all flights have been good and normal. In fact I had pushed her out to max LOS with no lose of signal.
The BIG question now is what can I check and/or test pertaining to the 2.4 GHz signal.
I really wondered if heat could be a factor even though I tried to replicate that plus I've flown other days that have been just as warm.
Any and all suggestion will be appreciated.
