"And the one time you really need obstacle avoidance is when you have lost signal and the aircraft is in RTH".
I think there a LOT more scenarios were obstacle avoidance is useful and sometimes needful other than signal-loss RTH:
- When you flying any direction other than the direction you see in your FPV device image. We can't always have spotters. (Note: should always have a spotter if flying around people.)
- When you are flying line-of-sight, but at a distance where objects are difficult to determine if they're in front of the P4. For instance, I have poor distance detection in my vision. To me, the craft might look farther from to the object than I detect with my eyes, so this would be a good safety.
EXAMPLE: craft at 100 meters in front of me, flying from right to left. There's a tree that I perceive to be much closer (or farther) than 100 meters from me, but it is instead the same distance as the craft (100m). - During a sporting (biking, skiing) follow-me session when there are obstacles to either side of the trail. As you probably know, follow-me doesn't follow the trail -- it follows the signal or the object, even if means "cutting the switchback" (where the obstacles are) to catch up to the object it is tracking.
Any others folks?
