I'm a complete newbee.  Day 2 of learning with the DJI Neo and RC-N3 controller.  I'm flying till the end of the battery.  Get the message that it wants to RTH, confirm which I do.  Instead of coming down and heading towards me (home point) it starts climbing and heads in the oppsite direction?????

I've read through and searched both the Neo and RC-N3 manals, both make reference to RTH.  Neo say's not supported with Palm control.  I'm under RC-N3 control so that shouldn't be a factor.  Neither talks about setting a home point.  I assumed that when you hit and hold the launch button on the phone screen it would set a home point although no where does the manual say that.

Am I suppose to be setting a home point before take off?   If so how?  What is suppose to be a safety feature hasn't been for me, it's been down right scarry.  :-0   


Thanks

"The home point has been updated please check it on the map". When the drone has acquired enough satellites to record a home point, it will say the aforementioned.

If you fly off with out the famous "home point updated" voice confirmation, you risk the drone not recording the home point at the location you took of from.

Thanks for your reply.  Yes I noticed that in yesterdays flight lesson.  I was looking at the map and saw it locking on to satellites and then a home point popped up.  That was an ah ha moment.  I guess I was flying off before all that happened.  Thanks again for the reply.

Glad to have helped, happy flying.
