Can someone recomend a setting for RTH altitude? I've been thinking maybe that should be set on each flight taking terain into account. Love to hear other's thoughts on this

i set mine to 80 meters, because i travel to and from my farm a lot and my farm has 250 feet or so of elevation change from top to bottom... 80 is a round number.. and i found out 50 meters wasn't enough for my farm..  down in the valley i can get away with 50 meters, 50 meters =160-ish feet that clears most things easily..

Depends on where you are......set it higher than the highest thing you need to clear to get home

I use 75 meters. It would clear most obstacles unless you are in the metro city.

That sounds like a swell idea.  I mean that seems to make a lot more sense than putting in some arbitrary value and watching your aircraft crash into something?

Well obviously you need to take terrain and obstacles into account. I usually fly from a boat that's 26' tall plus antennas so I usually set RTH to 50' so it clears the boat if it has to come back over.  If there are sailboats around I ll increase it to 75'

Agree with the post 3 #, I set mine to 50 meters, I alway fly it in an open area, the tallest obstacle in there is about 30 meters height. I always change it to 120 meters or higher once I changed the flight environment.
