I recently ordered a Starling 2 Max drone with the 5G option (modem configuration -M24-T9). Will an established in-flight 5G connection fall back to 4G if/when the 5G connection becomes unavailable? We have 5G in my area, but I'm not sure the coverage is complete. 

Thank you.

@ROBERT-JUDD Yes, that is the default behavior
