In theory, the drone will RTH on low battery. But I haven’t tested that theory yet. I don’t think the drone will continue if an obstacle (or pheasant--flock of pigeons) interrupts a waypoint mission even if you have it set to “continue”.
I plan to take the drone to an empty/vacant parking lot. I plan to test with these steps
1. Plan a short waypoint mission with 30 percent battery
2. Set the speed to 0.22 mph
3. Set altitude to 6 feet and set to “continue” on Lost Signal
4. Make sure either brake or bypass is set before you plan/start mission
5. Start mission
6. Wave a piece of cardboard in front of drone to simulate an obstacle or a flock of pigeons or pheasant or covey of quail.
7. Turn off controller to simulate lost signal
8.. Does the drone RTH on low battery? Or does it continue to just hover and land when the battery is depleted?
9. I’m going to test this at 10 meters (horizontal distance) and 120 meters (horizontal distance) from home point.
I’m not recommending that test for you, I’m just letting you know that’s how I’m going to test.
If the controller has signal to the drone, a long press of RTH button **should** work. I'll test that too. Might be a week before I can test due to weather.
