geo link return to home function in mode 4 power up on the spot does not work, All my settings are correct in the software and my spirit wave transmitter everything working when i throw the designated switch.
At the flying field with 16 sats showing it does not register the take off position. i am on firmware 4.05 and my wave transmitter , geo link and spirit receiver are updated.
Can you confirm if there is a problem within the spirit software ? The problem is the same on all my 5 helicopters. Position hold and altitude hold work perfectly . I have used your AI help on the system which confirms my settings are correct. Other pilots at my club are having the same problem.

What do you mean with "does not work"? Can you explain?
Hello
Geolink return to home, mode 4 , power up on the spot is not registering the take off position, according to the manual the take off position should register as the heli powers up and lifts off. this does not work as when RTH is activated heli flies in wrong direction. this is happening on all my Helis. On the bench and in the software it all works fine, but not at the flying site.
All my geo links were working great until the update 4.0 , my freind has 1 heli that is working correctly but that heli is on 3.7, we are convinced there is a problem in the new firmware.

Can you point heli to north and tell me what Geolink Info tab reads at heading?
Can you please check to make sure that THR is connected to channel 1? If it isn't, the Spirit won't know when the helicopter takes off. I believe that in earlier versions, the vibration level was used to detect takeoff. I had a similar problem, and that was the cause. However, I fly a Jeti, not a Wave. I have 5 helicopters with Spirit (4.05) and GeoLink, and RTH works on all of them.
Thanks for your support Konrad, Good to hear all your geo links are working well, that confirms the firmware 4.05 is OK and not the problem. seems something has happened when updating as it worked before on 3.07
can you please tell me your take off sequence
thanks again for your help because nobody at spirit bothers to reply
