Hi,
can you tell me where i can find a good explanation for this new programming for RTH ?
GeoLink - New Return to Home feature:
When configuring channel value to 50% for F: GeoLink - Return to Home new feature is engaged. State (4)
Model will return to a Lift Off position.
Lift Off position is automatically programmed any time model is not flying.
Lift Off position is independent from programmed Home spot and is stored in a volatile memory.
Pilot do not have to program any spot and do not have to care about changing field.
Original RTH feature is unchanged and can be utilized complementary.
New RTH State (4)
Hello,
explanation will be added shortly in the manual.
It is not needed to program it in any way.
Just set F: GeoLink Return to Home and set channel value at 50%. Then you will see State 4 in the Channels window.

If you have RTH setup already on a 3 pos switch then just wind the end point back in until you see it change on the software to On (4)
It should look something like -100 0 +50 in your Tx depending which way round you have the switch. Preflight test is the same to make sure the swash doesn't move when active.

It is stored anytime model is not flying. So when model will lift off it is the position for RTH.

I'll stick with the old way . I would rather the model returned to a point a bit further away than return to the takeoff area ( I can't take off further away as I fly over crop fields)
Position hold and altitude hold seem more precise but hard deck still cuts in when it feels like it
I didn't realise that rescue settings affect hard deck . I changed to rescue normal from acro with .5 sec delay and now heli keeps flipping upright when hard deck kicks in flying inverted

Just returned from a few very successful flights with my Trex 700X/Spirit2/3.1/Geolink/1.2. This is a new heli for me, and I'm not much past beginner stage, so it was important for me to get Return to Home (RTH) and Rescue set up. I'm pleased to report it all works perfectly So thanks, Tomas, it was worth waiting for!ZeXx86 wrote:Answer is written in your post copied from ChangeLog.

I can verify the RTH channel set at 100% (position on map) and 50% (heli initialised) both work well. I had (wrongly) assumed the 50% set-position was read when the battery is connected, so I placed the heli about 10m further away from the normal take-off/landing pad and connected it there. Then I walked it back and took off from the pad. Imagine my surprise to find when RTH triggered it hovered perfectly above the pad.....This (for me) is a great additional facility than the map-point or battery-connect point, and shows how much thought has gone into this update.
The Geolink doesn't make the heli crash-proof, but I'm very pleased that it provides (with RTH as well as Rescue), the opportunity to 'reset' when things go wrong.
Again, thanks, Tomas for your work and great customer service.
Cheers, Andy
