until the last update, the Phantom worked perfectly. Since I have updated (after 5 month) everything to the newest firmware, the return to home function is not working normal. I have in the fail safe menu 70m for returning home, now I am flying away I push return to home and phantom want to land on the point he is actually, so after I push RTH, he is sinking down, so I must cancel the auto landing procedure and land the phantom manually. That could be very dangerous. I am out of the 20m range, the Phantom is about 100meters away. What can I do???

I have downgraded to 1.5 and again I updated it to 1.6. After all,  I have calibrated the IMU. Hope I can test it tomorrow, if weather is ok. I have no idea why phantom is not comming home..

You say that landing manually could be dangerous. How? It is the only method I use. I never use the RTH function as under manual control I have full and complete control over where the aircraft is flying.

I think he means it could be dangerous for the drone to land when he presses RTH, not when he has to land manually.
