Thanks squire.
You're right; the auto low-battery RTH is indeed constantly recalculating its trigger point based on the distance from the home point but makes no consideration of wind. Thankfully as you say, it's usually pretty conservative and will allow for a head wind but if you're flying far away and it's a strong wind, then yes, watch out...
I made this video to demonstrate the fact that despite the wording of the warning, it will still go into RTH mode, and it will make up some of the speed even against a wind that is stronger than the spec'd max RTH mode speed of 12 m/s.
Cheers, Ian
