I have a Mini SE.  Feels a little schizophrenic having to post in two different forums depending on the issue.  But anyway...

Messing around with Litchi beta  4.2 build 3990.

I understand the risks and that it may void warranty, cause a crash, etc.

Basically just testing pano and general usage vs Fly app.

When  I hit RTH I got a message about go home failing due to timeout.  I  googled the issue and saw a few similar instances but none recently.   Anyone else with Litchi getting this?  Never an issue with DJI Fly.

It happens at 13m 1.2s

Edit - click Watch on YouTube.  All I get is the spinny circle within the post.

Hello there FirstQuadcopter. I am sorry for the trouble this has caused and thank you for reaching out. Since these are 3rd party application ( Litchi ), I hope that you will get the best information with regards to this matter from our fellow DJI co pilots who have tried using the Litchi application. Just a reminder to please use the recommended DJI application ( DJI Fly application ) when flying your DJI Mini SE to ensure stability and comparability during flight and 3rd party applications like Litchi application can void the warranty of your DJI Mini SE. Thank you.

Theres a few bugs in Litchi for Mini2 maybe they also happen with the SE.  Had a few hangs recently which left the drone hovering and no control possible.   Pressing RTH actually unlocked the drone and allowed it to be flown again.

Was this just a one-off incident or does it happen consistently?
There shouldn't be anything different about RTH with Litchi.
The RTH programming is baked into the drone and is independent of the app you fly with.

This was the only time I used Litchi in an actual flight.  I've flown several flights with no issue in DJI Fly.  I may get a chance to check it again Sunday or Monday morning now that it's out of beta.

I would suspect that the issue wasn't related to using Litchi and could have happened on any other flight.
If you see it happening consistently, then it's something different.

Hi Shizack

AC was in Landing Mode when you pressed RTH first time, probably reason for warning message.

Good call, but that was when I pressed the button again trying to cancel.

Someone commented on the video that I was too close to the drone.  If RTH is initiated within 66 feet or so it won't work.  I incorrectly thought that included altitude but I guess not.  It was over 66 feet up, but only at 43 feet distance ground-wise.
