I am not an expert but I will conjecture.
First, you mention "inside" but then refer to a "big tree." If you were inside, and there was sufficient detail in the floor (i.e. not a featureless surface) it may be able to use its visual positioning hardware to hold position. However if it is outside or at a greater altitude than workable for visual positioning, it SHOULD go into a hover. Unlike a GPS-controlled hover, however, it would follow the air mass. If there is no wind it should remain stationary. If there's a 20 mile per hour wind it will move at 20 miles per hour in the direction of that wind.
With that said, there is another thread that commenced today in which the pilot lost the control signal while the Inspire was moving forward. Instead of stopping and hovering, the aircraft continued under power until it struck a wall and was destroyed. This sounds an awful lot like a serious bug and not the behavior that was intentionally designed into the system. Everything I have heard/seen about the Inspire says that with a loss of radio control it should "stop," to the degree practical, in the air. |
