Yes I am sure about my first statement.  My last sentence statement  was supposed to be deleted.   I manage a couple  thousand acres.  Parts of my flights are pretty far away.  Over two miles.  Communications at that distance is weak.  If you know RF communication,   Generally the skycontroller (ground equipment) can transmit and recieve far better than the Drone (air or space equipment).  The distance that one can be heard and understood by the other is not equal.  Generally, the spacecraft can hear me but I cant hear the spacecraft.  In ANAFI world.  We define communications as Transmit AND Recieve.  The logical and of both.  Because the phone says: "not connected".  But thats not true is it.  It would be really reallly unsusual if the Skycontroller could not control the drone further than the drone can transmit back to the skycontoller.  So there exists a control distance which is greater than the distance at which return signals from the drone can be successfully decoded and displayed on the phone.  No confirmation, indication, talkback, acknowledgement, so Im in the blind.  THerefore.  The skycontroller return to home button should always issue the command.  Never cancel it.  One more thing.  Next time you loose Communication with your anafi (I.e."not connected"). Climb.  Odds are... it will.
