When it comes to the waypoint settings, I have a question about the dedicated setting what the drone should do at the last waypoint "End of Flight". Options here are "RTH", "hover", "stop" or "back to start". RTH is a secure return feature. What exactly does “back to start” mean? Does this mean the drone will fly the same waypoint route but backwards? Or does it take the shortest route to the starting point, which does not necessarily have to be obstacle-free and can be critical?

sorry, but what is "DM"? It likely stands for any kind of message, but I didn't get any, e.g. no Email.

I would also like to know what back to start means.

Thanks, Dirty Bird, I already was afraid that "Back to Start" would mean straight back via the shortest route. I think it would make more sense if there was a function like "Back on the same route via the same waypoints as the outward flight".
