I have read several complaints on forums as well as on youtube videos, where pilots are having trouble getting the Spark to RTH, to the same point as the takeoff.
I have tried many different scenarios. I have the set to the takeoff point.
I did not do anything extra.
Tests:
Spark
RC Controller
Samsung Galaxy S4
no OTG cable.
DJI Go 4 ver: 4.3.4
RTH set to takeoff point.
Have transported the Spark in the car about 300 miles away from where it was last calibrated. No new calibration, at all. No IMU nor Compass recalibration.
Tried flights in daytime as well as nightime as well as dark part of dawn.
Fairly windy approx. 10mph to 21mph.
Regular mode as well as Sport mode.
Take off from ground as well as hand launch.
Flew quite some distance away.
Including over water (ocean).
Used the RTH button on Cell phone as well as on RC to activate.
In all cases the Spark returned to it's starting position and landed. Within about 10 inches.
Now in most of the previous tests it hovered above the starting position. However I was impatient so I then made it land.
In he final test, I did nothing and it landed on it's own, after a little while.
This might have been due to automatic feature or due to battery getting very low.
So, I'm not sure why so many have said the RTH feature does not work?
