Abe, you were exactly right. I started up the bird and RC and it was already preset at 20m. I have been filming in New Mexico around mesas and starting in 1 place and bringing the Inspire around the mesa when I realized that if the bird went to RTH it would try to go through part of the mesa. The last thing I need is a rope crew rescue of the the bird half way down a steep mesa wall, ergo the correction attempt in my hotel room. I have had a problem recently with a phantom app doing something similar. In its case it simply says Failsafe 'N/A' and not allowing input to RTH at all. That may be because I am flying in Phantom mode and not in Naza so it concerned me.
On a different note, I had no cell service most of where I went so any kind of cell tracker would have been useless. A Sat tracker not much better because the canyon walls and/or trees would probably have blocked most sats. I used my little trusty Marco Polo but it makes me really nervous knowing how far these things can fly (especially hearing the Florida thing). Oh well....and thanks guys for getting me back in the air. |
