I don't know what happened today, I was busy setting up MPCC and Solo decided to Return Home. The controller was showing "Return Home" so there must have been link between the two and I had video feed.
I was unable to take over the control, Fly button did nothing, Pause did nothing, A button (Fly:manual) nothing, B button (drift mode) nothing. Solo missed the launch point completely and landed on the roof. Very very lucky actually because our roof is really uneven with several layers, one over another and steep. Solo decided to land on the only straight (horizontal) section of the roof (1x2m), narrowly missing a gutter.
I couldn't issue any commands from the controller.
Restarted controller, iPad and finally had the control back but no GPS, launched the Solo in Fly:manual from the roof (just missing the gutter again) and landed. Next flight no problems.
The only thing I can think of is that my controller battery was low (but not completely low) and doesn't explain why I still had video feed and controller was even signaling Return Home (in other words still running). Before I relaunched the Solo from the roof I've put the controller on charge for 5 minutes just in case.
