You fly in direction A to 100m distance. You switch to HL. Pull back on stick until the bird flies over your head in direction -A. Fly out 100m again in direction -A. Reselect HL. Pull back on the stick and keep it pulled back bringing it towards home again.
Quiz Question: What does the bird do when you reach 10m from home point?
I believe it will go back to direction -A since it will again go into CL which means the opposite of the starting facing direction - correct? I have not tried that, but that is my guess.
You are absolutely correct! Well done. Imagine my surprise when this happened to me but I wasn't testing it. Surprised me and I had to stop and contemplate why it did a 180 degree instant direction change.
