Yep, it will just keep descending slowly until it hits the ground.
OI, does the recording a new home point at altitude thing actually work then? I seem to see people still arguing if it does or not. Have you tried it? I may have a go next time I fly.
MrC,
Just read your post and to answer your question, setting home point (HP) at altitude definitely does work. Zbip57 (a poster on the rcgroups forum) posted a video that actually walks you through steps verifying how to change the HP while actually flying. His video then shows the Phantom actually flying to the changed home point location (when Failsafe was actuated), rising 20 meters above that inflight altitude and then slowly decreasing in altitude until it touches down. The motors DO NOT shut off until it touches the ground. If your interested here's the link to his video:

P.S. While in the rcgroups forum(s) search for other videos Zbip57 has done. He's clarified (via video) many of the flight control claims made by the Phantom flight controller.
