What's the big deal about using/not using RTH? I like using it and use it maybe 80% of the time. I like watching it do its thing to come back to me. Hey, if you're a control freak and can't relinquish control - good for you - have fun & control away. =) I think everybody should just do what ever it is they want - within the FAA rules & regs - of course. #wombat55 - I sure would be interested in the page and paragraph of the user manual that says it's to be used if all else fails - now if that does exist, then maybe I'd pay attention.
