Hello,

I  am seeking some settings help related to Phantom 4 RTK Drone.

I do fly my Phantom 4 RTK Drone with DRTK 2 Mobile station station set. I have set my Phantom 4 RTK drone "Return to Home" at 20% battery level. Still it automatically Returns to Home at 34, 35 or sometimes even 38% of battery. I can understand that it will be applying some calculations of battery usage with respect to the distance required to be travelled to reach home. But this happens even when it is at the distance of 200 meters. When it lands, it is like 28% of the battery is remaining, as a result it reduces the total flight time and disturbs our flight plan schedules.

If someone can help out with this, it would be better.

Thanks in advance.

How windy was it?

I did some flights this past Saturday and the winds were 11 mph with gusts over 20 mph. The high wind warning came on the controller and at 24% it RTH. Normally it lands at 18%, but Sat. it RTH at 24% and only had to fly 300 feet to the landing site. I think the issue is the high winds cause the drone to error on the safe side and land sooner.

Be sure you begin at 100% battery.

Is there any more information on this? We just got the 4 RTK and I've been flying test missions. I was out this morning. No wind warnings but at 24% it ended my mission early and returned to home some 400 feet away. Landed with about 21% left in the battery.
