So my sub-$200 drone has been fun to learn with....  thought I had lost it yesterday though :D

Was in my backyard with it out of the wind, all good, until I thought Id be smart and fly it up onto the deck..... bad move. Wind caught it so I corrected, wind caught it again and was pushing it straight to the pool. Gave it power and got moving upwards to keep out of the water but doing so meant the wind caught it even more, and pushed it straight to some trees at the neighbors - which it missed and thats when I lost sight of it.

Thought "Oh ****" and hit the auto-land button and then ran for the neighbors, but suspected it had not taken the auto-land request and was flying somewhere off into the distance.

Went onto my neighbors deck and said what I was there for, and noticed their cat and dog staring in the backyard - look over the deck, and theres my drone, right way up :D

Don't know if it accepted the auto land and thats where it stopped, or if it had actually hit their roof and gone down.

But either way, so glad I found it :) 

What have been your near misses, or losses ? :) Or an awesome hit ? (ie great footage of something by accident) ? :)
