    I don't see anything abnormal on the aircraft side.

    The anomaly rests with the controller. Maybe Andy has some insights

    It sounds like a temporary loss of telemetry signal Kjetil. I've had that happen too.
    As to what caused it? It's hard to say.

    ok thanks andy
    it can sound like what you said,i dont lose the controll off the cs,thats good
    do i have to do something on my mx 20 to activate the failsaft setup for mk or just hook off in the mk tool for failsafe?
    i am not sure about this failsafe!!
    thanks

    Presuming you are using the MK FC and Navi boards, I would make very certain that:

    1. You have set the Come Home altitude to something reasonable for where you are flying (eg. 25 meters).
    2. On the Misc window, you have set the Emergency-Gas to, say 90 or 95, and checked the "Use vario control" -- this turns the Emergency-Gas to a percentage. The FC board will automatically determine what throttle setting the copter needs to hover, and then descend at Emergency Gas % of that....
    3. Also on the Misc window, set the Failsafe CH Time to 60 seconds.
    4. Remember to write the settings back to the FC board!

    You can read all about the Emergency Come Home here: http://www.mikrokopter.de/ucwiki/en/FailSafe
