Ok I run this flight as a bit of a test to understand the limits of the mm ( it was fine to take off) but I thought it might be a bit of a blustery day up high so I wanted to get some experience of how the mm would react.
Seems like I got completely lost but at the time thought it was the mm and not me - Airdata confirmed that.
So all I was trying to do was see how high this would go directly up to the 400 ft ceiling set and take some video.... as it got up there I was looking solely at the Height indicator and avoiding the distance until I suddenly notice its some 600 feet away .... and due to sun on the phones screen I literally have NO idea where it is (cant see the map either due to glare (now going to buy a sun hood!) ) ... so I hit the RTH thinking it would drop to 90 feet then come back .... I now know if it is above that height it just comes back at the height it is at.
When i look at the Airdata it shows the flight going up and then backing itself out to sea then back in however I didnt think I was moving it back out to sea and it might have been caught in a strong wind but I saw no wind warnings on the screen (I saw one on an earlier flight but not on this) but looking back at the Airdata I can see I made it back out to sea (and it wasnt blown by wind)
On a positive side I think I enjoyed that heart stopping moment when you think 'I think I've lost my drone' but the technology in terms of RTH works 100% ... otherwise id have been flying blind for hours!
Also while I am here is there any way to have the telemetry data stamped on the actual video itself on the mm?
