Sorry to say but while flying backwards at the end of my flight today it went into Auto Land! It doesn't seem that flying backward produces the same effect as flying forward, as far as the Auto Land goes

Was it the heavy weight auto land or something else? All my flights go into heavy auto land now when I stop flying forward. Did you cancel the auto land and keep trying to fly backwards?

That sucks, How far out were you and were you able to cancel the autoland?

Very cool pictures above the clouds. I assume your home point was already above the clouds??

I loaded up the latest M2 code on the bird today and precise RTH landing works now. I also set this parameter and sport mode max speed was nice (60 is the max value it allows).

PS - after a code upgrade all your previous parameter mods are reset.

I know we have been testing many different parameters, but correct me if I am wrong but none of them panned out?, right?

These are the only parameters I have now, does anyone else have any must have settings for the modified class?

No, once autoland kicks in you can cancel but it just kicks in again over and over. The only good thing is that you can fight the landing by pushing up on the stick so you can land in a safe place.

Yes, it was the heavy weight autoland. All of my flights do this also, but @lolo780 suggested that I back into the limit to make up time for the turnaround. You can cancel but it just keeps engaging autoland over and over.

@beanbubba
Is this the Limit? I thought it was closer to 59k

It behaved like you hit the limit (here is the last one I hit and yours today). I looked back at some old M1 records and they all were between 58700 and 58900 feet. Ours were unusually less at 57600-57900, but looks just like it should by losing comms for about a minute when it happens. I honestly have no idea why this is so different.

Nice run bro

Thanks Aumoe, it was a real nail-biter. I got the "aircraft disconnected" signal at 58,283 and lost all signal. I was sure it was going into auto landing (40 second blackout), but it didn't! Other than that is was an easy flight out and back with a tailwind both directions.

Yeah you made it look easy boss disconnects are scary Until you get it back and looks likely didn’t split the data on you

They must have fixed the android bug (splitting the logs) with the new Go4 apps. I do have an Ipad Pro 9.7 but I prefer to fly with my Nvidea Tablet so I can use my Headplay Goggles so I'm glad they fixed it.
