Rescue vs. Geolink function
Posted: Wed 26. Jul 2023 13:17:26
Spirit GT FW. 3.5.0
Geolink V2 FW 1.3.3
Priority Rescue vs. Geolink Function RTH.
Programming:
Rescue (normal) on channel 8
Rescue collective pitch on channel 13
Geo-link return to home on channel 10
I have the suspicion that the rescue doesn't work if I turn on the RTH function.
My tests:
I fly inverted and turn on the rescue, the heli turns to normal position and goes up, I expected this behavior
I fly normal and turn on RTH, the heli comes back and stabilizes at the programmed altitude, so far so good.
I fly in a normal position and switch on RTH and then enable rescue, the heli comes back but does not go up as desired for the rescue, I did not expect this behavior
I fly inverted and turn on RTH and then enable rescue, the heli flies inverted back at the programmed altitude, the heli does not rotate to normal nor go up.
I didn't expect this!
Now, while the rescue is on, I turn off the Geolink RTH, the heli immediately turns to its normal position and shoots upwards away.
My question: Is the RTH Geolink function given a higher priority than the rescue, I always thought it must be the other way around.
Thanks a lot for your help
