Hi,
I plan to test RTH and have a question how it behaves: When I switch it off, will I be immediately able to take over control? Do you recommend to set the RTH position manually when testing it the first time?
Many thanks
Stefan
Question how Return to Home behaves

If you set up return to home4 it will return to where you lifted off. Saves either pre setting somewhere or setting it every time your out.

Thanks a lot!
In general I know how RTH is working but it seems that some have an issue with the detection of the lift of position. I am just asking myself if I can interrupt the RTH anytime if something is going wrong and if I should manually set the position when testing the first time to be on the safe side?
Many thanks for your opinions.

To use RTH you ned to set your geolink return to home at function 4. i think that was at 65% switch.
When you connect your battery and receiver, let it get satelite signal for at least 20/30sec before you take off! This will be your rth gos point. You can activate and disable when ever you want! Remember to update and correctly setup your geolink in separate menu. Also altitude height at around 20m minimum
BUT!! There is a big but!
I dont believe spirit has done any changes yet to settings/sw..
Ryh is EXTREMELY violent!!
Depending on your cyclic/pitch settings it csn be really harsh to the heli at the time activated. Its instant and to be honest really half done. You risk a bladestrike or broken main gear..
You can see what i mean in my video. Happened 2 times to me that my main gear gets stripped
There is no smoothing /limit settings for rth.. only rescue.. not the same thing

Thanks a lot Rdlx3m.
That was exactly what I was looking for.
Have you spoken with Spirit about the behavior?
Many thanks again.

In the geolink menue, there is a parameter horizontal and vertical gain (in german: Horizontal / Vertikaler Empfindlichkeit). I have set these parameters to 80% and 60%. This is a good value for all of my helis. The default value should not be 100%. If horizontal gain is too small, the heli takes a long time to come back, especially in windy conditions. The oscillations in the video are typical effects of too hight gain values.
If you turn RTH off, you get control over the heli immediately.
I hope, I could help you.
