Does RTH automatically set itself?

As the post goes. Does the phantom set its home point automatically before each new takeoff ? Thanks

Yes -- as long as your Phantom has a good GPS connection. The DJI GO app will announce when the home point has been marked. You'll also be able to see it on the map.

I believe the home point is set if you wait for rapid flashing green lights before you take off.

Thank you for the speedy reply! Out of interest do most pilots set their home point were the craft takes off from or were the pilot it holding the tx?

In general, you should be resetting your home point whenever you want to mark a new landing location. Ideally, you'll be landing it yourself. But, if it does need to RTH, you should make sure the home point is set to a safe location.
