I live in Puerto Rico, which is very mountainous. Our community is on a hill overlooking the Caribbean and our home sits half way up the hill, approximately 80 feet above sea level. I usually fly the MPP out to the ocean and often hit the return to home button to bring it back. Since I have the RTH altitude set at 211 feet (65 meters), it works like a charm. However, lately I've taken to flying the MPP to the top of the mountain, which is approximately 370 higher than our house. The question is: What would happen if I pressed the RTH button? Will it immediately go down to 211 feet, thus forcing a landing, or will it head back holding altitude until it is closer to home?
 
If the MPP is higher than the RTH set altitude then it will RTH at the current higher altitude.
