I'm wondering what the best RTH setting would be for me when flying in the relatively small area of my backyard? When flying in the yard the drone is never more than about 120 feet from the takeoff home point. There are trees that I both fly under and above, and I'll put it over my house as well. I have set the RTH mode to "hover" because if I lose signal within 20 meters I do not want it to land on my house or a tree. Is this the best setting for such a flight situation?
My thought is that if I lose signal my odds of regaining contact with the drone in a hover are better than my odds of a safe landing with so many obstacles in the 20 meter radius.
While I assume the 20 meter radius for descending is to ensure a clear area for takeoff, the fact of the matter is I would be pleased if RTH could be set to go to the home point even when it is within that radius. Of course, the other issue I would have is RTH altitude since it could always rise up to hit a tree branch if RTH is high and it kicks in while under a branch, or smack into a wall if RTH is low and it kicks in while there is something between it and the home point. I realize those are just part of its limitations.
Am I correct that hover is the best RTH call here, or is there some other combo of settings I should be using?
Thanks!
