    RTH wind calculator for the adventurous

    I've had several close calls when flying far away over water and returning against strong head wind, so it finally dawned on me that, since my love for adventure and risk is not going away any time soon, I've better have a handy calculator spreadsheet that will rein in my excitement with...

    NO SIGNAL at 12,000ft-*UPDATE 3* with windsurf antenna

    Hi, I am John from Serres,Greece and this is my first post. Yesterday, I decided to push my P3P to the limit. The aircraft flew to 10,000ft with solid signal and after 2 "WEAK SIGNAL" warnings and at 12,000ft I got the "NO SIGNAL". Aircraft auto-switched to RTH and about three minutes later...

    RTH CA disable?

    I decided to test the return to home feature as I haven't done it since I got the phantom but on its way but I notice I got a message that collision avoidance where disable, is that normal for it to turn it off? I thought it would be the other way round it would turn it on if anything or maybe...

    Litchi question RTH tripped during mission due to calculated power.

    Searched all over and can't find an answer in manual or online so I thought I would ask you Litchi gurus. Using P3A with latest updates and Litchi on Android. During mission flights Litchi is triggering RTH and aborting the mission when the calculated RTH power reaches the available power...

    New Litch user issues

    Hey all, Is there a better place for Litchi assistance? I've been to their site and they don't seem to have a forum. I'm a somewhat seasoned P3P + DJI Go app user, but I just got Litchi and went out to try it. Things were working on the 2nd go around of a simple mission on a community field...

    Phantom 3 RTH

    Paul Schulze Today at 1:40pm I have read the posts about RTH, but I did not find an answer to part of my question so thanks for being patient with my question. I'm considering a Phantom 3 Standard but have a question. When using RTH it is recommended to increase altitude to avoid trees, etc...

    Litchi Battery Colours - What do they mean exactly.

    Trying to find the following information using Litchi and the battery display. The battery display (not voltage or %) red along with green and then a number which changes depending on your distance to the home point. 1) Does the number represent the flight time before RTH is suggested or total...

    QUESTION: Does the Home Point automatically set?

    Hello, I have a question.... When I lift off with my Phantom 3 S, does the "Home Point" automatically set within my DJI Go app? OR, do I need to set it manually? Before or after lift off?

    RTH

    How do you initiate a re-install of the aircraft firmware and the rc controller? I've been using my Phantom Advance for the last week and decided to pull out the Standard. When I started the rc and copter, it said that there was an update needed. Dummy here, I cannot remember if it was the...

    RTH Crash Feedback Wanted

    After 77 flights of the P3 Professional and 10 hours of flight time, I experienced my first crash. Not sure what to make of it so I'm asking for feedback. The facts: Installed firmware P3X_FW_V01.05.0030. Upon opening the DJI app after firmware update, it asked for a compass calibration (which...

    Autopilot - Is there a Homelock Equivilant?

    I'm trying to get used to Autopilot. One thing that I'm missing right away is an easy way to return home like with Homelock on the DJI Go app. When I bring up the map it isn't making it as easy to find where I am. I liked having a green line pointing me directly back to my home point. Is...

    Inexpensive fix: GPS function with the iPad WiFi only tablet

    Hey everyone, first post here. I made a video for YouTube that I figured would help some people who were in the same boat as I was. Like many people I got the iPad mini 2 WiFi-only tablet, and was a bit disappointed to find out the features I was missing, when out in the field for a flight...

    RTH Altitude Clarification

    There are a few threads on the RTH & Altitude, and I wanted to confirm a couple of important points with documented answers that were not opinions. I think this is an important point that should be clarified. The FAA uses MSL as a baseline, but obstructions are posted as AGL. For UAV Pilots, the...

    Return to Home Issues

    I have an issue with RTH that started about four months ago. Even with 10-12 satellites, when I hit RTH one day, it just hovered for a while and was moving with the wind. It behaved like it was in ATTI mode. I was calm and used the small diamond on the monitor to fly back to the take-off...

    The importance of setting the RTH Height (Watch video so we all learn)

    I was fly by the tallest building of Venezuela, The "isla multiespacio" at 220 meters (722 ft) San Diego, Carabobo State, Then the phantom lost the signal and begin the RTH, but i forgot to update the height of the return (I had it in 80 mts), so the bird could fly above the building. Near...
