You must mean like this flight from Hungry Mother State Park this morning:
I have to say, it's nerve wracking to lose signal a few minutes into a thirteen minute flight and just hope that all the careful flight planning/on-the-ground terrain verification works out as planned. This is countered somewhat by the elation of regaining signal as it works its way back to you.
