Perfect. Just tried yesterday, position hold ,altitude hold , return home , auto land , and lower altitude limit, everything works as they should .... I am very pleased and thankful for the excellent support from Tomas and Spirit team , just waiting for tandem to come then it will be a total perfect FBL . :D

Hi Trek nut,

You mentioned that all features you are using are working very well, including the lower Altitude Limit. I am curious as to your flying style and whether or not your are making some fast descents like a for instance around 5° to 8° of negative collective pitch with your heli upright from say a height of 30 meters with a lower limit set at 10 meters, your heli is saved by the feature? This is just an example as with those same parameters from what a fellow pilot and myself have tested on four different helis (Align 550, Align 800, Oxy 3, and Oxy 4) the heli would punch through the set 10 meter threshold every time with each and every heli when using that much collective pitch causing the heli to descend moderately quickly, and on a couple tests even having the skids contact the ground and surely crashing if full positive collective was not applied to save it with the radio. Given the same scenario but with roughly 4° or less negative pitch the model would be saved by the feature.

So my question is how hard or fast have you tested the Altitude Limit feature to assess it is working every time for you, can you post some information or data as to how you assessed it works perfect?

Best Regards,
Kevin

Hi ! I fly big air and sport aerobics.. I tested it with tail slide , inverted fall down and bottom of a loop and it works fine for me.it is my opinion only not to set any standard. Good luck
