Yes. It cannot be turned off as a function. The mode can be changed to hover land, ect but this is not a ideal option in my mind. As stated above this post, if the controller loses contact with the drone it has to RTH. Now there are many people that swore they lost contact with their drone and it never came back. There is basically only two things that could cause this aside from total failure. First is the home point was somehow not recorded in the first place. It is important to look for that green H before flying off into the sunset. Second, they did not actually lose contact with the Phantom. They lost video feed, but there was still a control signal link. The drone must lose 100% signal link in order to initiate RTH. Otherwise it's all up to you to hit that magical RTH button and sip a soda while you wait for the fair maiden to come home to the prince. A note: When using a way point mission, even though it "may" lose all signal, both video feed and control, it WILL complete the mission and not RTH until the mission completes. This is one reason to plan very carefully the altitudes involved.Has it always given you the option to rth?
