[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 400892, member: 15805"] [b]re: Don's DJI Phantom 2 & 3 Fun[/b] Yes. But you must be sure it knows where 'Home' is. It's called RTH, Return To Home. And it's not without it's pitfalls. Most notably, it will fly [I]directly[/I] Home. It won't retrace it's route. So if you fly around a building to the other side, and the bird loses signal, it will fly right into the building. If it's lower than 60ft/20m, it will fly up to that altitude before RTH. But that may not be enough to clear some large trees. If it's higher than 60ft/20m, it will maintain that elevation during RTH. And it will fly to where it thinks Home is. If you took off and didn't start with a good GPS lock, or lost GPS signal during a flight, Home may not be where [I]you[/I] think it is. [/QUOTE]
