Hi everyone,

First of all, my problem is with a Phantom 2 Vision Plus.
I have this strange issue that whenever I fly from groundstation and want to regain control (or flipping S1 switch to failsave for the Phantom to come home) and after that immediately flipping it back to the up (GPS) position, the Phantom will not enter GPS mode anymore and will remain in ATTI mode. It will even remain in ATTI mode after landing and shutting down the props.

Is this a setting I have missed or is it just not possible to "reset" back to GPS mode after having done a groundstation route or after a RTH signal?

For now it looks like I need to shutdown both the Phantom and the RC and then start both up again to get back in GPS mode.

Edit: found the cause; my S1 switch seems to not respond very well when being switched "too gently" into the upper position.

A few have had to replace switches, might be a wise choice here as well..
