Lots of people have tested it and you can too.
Launch from a safe area with no obstacles close by, fly out 100 feet or so, switch off the controller and watch it happen.
And I know this will work, I tested this years ago with the Phantom 1 & 2 class of drones way back when, I was just surprised when the mini 3 did not rise to the RTH height after a good 10 seconds of signal loss.
If it had I feel sure I could have reconnected, but as it was had to go walk abouts to get a better signal, I am interested if anyone else might have had this experience as well.
My working theory is that I did not have a full signal loss, and more a long intermittent breakage, but not reconnecting long enough for me to regain control, but enough for RTH to not kick in.
I think this is where experience plays a part, as anyone can read the manual and assume its gospel, in in practice it might not always work that way.
Has anyone else suffered a RTH failure like this ? |
