Expectation question on RTH

[Yorkshire_Pud]

Well, for one thing, the forum isn't dedicated solely to helping drone owners avoid reading the manual.

If you don't see value beyond a drone manual lookup service, perhaps you're not a good match.

Just out of curiosity, how do you do the double quote?

Works great!
Thanks for both tip options!

My understanding is that RTH will not descend a drone to the RTH altitude while en route to the home point, it will only ascend. So if your RTH is set to 250' and you lose connection at 300', the drone will simply maintain 300' for its flight to the home point and THEN descend to land.

This can be serious issue to lose contact with the drone at a higher than RTH altitude as the drone will face higher winds if contact is lost that high and will try to fly all the way back at that higher height, which could be risky. Too bad it won't lower.

It is rare to lose contact at high altitude unless you are out of range, in which case the drone will quickly restore signal by flying closer, allowing you to take over control and descend as needed. Your alternative is the optimal RTH method setting which returns on a glide path, descending as it flies back.
