Do you know how the Inspire-1 sets it's throttle on RTH mode?
Doesn't it "throttle-back" for more efficient battery use?
Hypothetically, I'm thinking if flying in strong wind (of which one shouldn't be flying in) and having flown downwind...that one could engage RTH and the aircraft would actually drift away from HOME if this throttle setting generates a horizontal speed of which is less than the wind speed. Did I explain this well enough?
This scenario could also happen if a strong wind unexpectedly comes up after take-off.
Please tell me what you think or know.
If this above "hypothetical" is true - perhaps this could explain SOME fly-a-ways.
Also (if true) - if a strong wind starts to come up after take-off - get up wind fast so RTH is downwind. |
