Default Loss of signal DX7/6100

I just lost my foamy Mapgpie AP aerial photography plane into a tree - it still sits 50 feet up with no way to get to it.

I was about 5 minutes into a flight with fresh charged Lipo 3s 2100 and a fresh charge on the TX. Plane was about 75-100 feet high some 450 to 500 feet away from me.

All of a sudden it noses down. Up elevator - no response. Power down, full power - no response. Everything went dead. Nothing left to do but watch it nose down across a creek into the trees on private acreage and listen for the crunch.

Has anyone had similar experiences with the DX7/6100 combo?

It is very unlikely that this is a low voltage issue. I can't look at any of the components since I can't get the blasted plane out of the tree.

Any ideas as to what could have happened? No glitches leading up to it. Just a total loss of signal.

Thanks,

BobbyG
