So I'm about 60 flights into my MA and learning on every flight, but a lost signal while flying off a lookout really spooked me. But it makes me ask

1/ would RTH eventually kick in and if so how long does it take.

as it all worked out fine in the end the phone connection seemed to be dodgy with a bit of a wiggle the connection was back and I hit the RTH this all took
approx 40sec which takes me back to the question how long before RTH would have kicked in if at all?

And here's a tip check for a build up of lint in the phone connection this was the cause in the end and totally preventable.
 
RTH never kicks in with just phone/app disconnects. It is the remote control that actually flys the aircraft THAT has to disconnect before it will RTH. You still have full flight control with the RC.
