If I have my RTH altitude set to 200ft and I'm flying at 375ft and loose signal does anyone know the outcome? Does the P4 drop down to the 200ft mark then RTH or does it maintan it's altutude? I ask because I will be flying up a very steep ridge about 1 mile away and if I loose connection there is a change it may drop to the 2ooft range and run into the mountain side. I know I can change the setting to 400ft but just curious of how it will react.


Thanks

If you're flying above the RTH altitude, it will immediately return, staying at that altitude until over the home point, then descend.  
If you're flying below the RTH altitude, it will ascend before returning.

If "home" is anywhere within 20m of the Phantom when RTH is initiated, then it will simply descend until it lands.

It will stay at 375 feet.  The RTH will go up to 200 feet if below.
