Anyway, after all this time she was still in the tree and I was able to get it out with a large pole finally. Seems to work too… she will fly using the Litchi app, but when I try DJI Fly it connects to drone, I see camera, says take off is permitted, but the button is greyed out.
PS - I only came here to vent. I didn’t leave negative feedback on the Play store.
