However the wind was blowing at an odd angle to the field and slowly it was drifting off. Now I was having alot of fun so I really didn't notice the plane getting smaller and smaller until it started losing contact with my transmitter. It started doing large snap rolls until it luckily worked it's way back towards the field and I regained control.
Now I know that you were having fun but my gosh, what is the range on your radio gear? How far do you think it was? I would think that a radio system would be able to allow the aircraft to go about a mile away before losing contact. Maybe it was the line of site and you being low to the deck that made you lose contact so soon?
