Hi
I'm a newbie with half a dozen flights or so and I'm trying to understand how the IOC actually works in practice.
It seems to me that with the HL engaged, the Phantom actually behaves like CL until it is beyond 30 feet. Then you have to reengage HL by cycling the IOC switch to get HL to function as described. When returning to home from beyond 30 ft by pulling back on the stick, the Phantom stops at the the home point and then switches into CL mode and zooms away in accordance with the CL rules unless I center the stick. I then have to fly beyond 30 feet to reengage the HL by cycling the IOC switch. Is this correct?
Next, I stopped the rotors (but left the system on) and carried the Phantom to another spot and tried to record a new home point by cycling the IOC switch CL-HL-CL 6 times but that didn't seem to replace the original home point. Did I do that properly?
Many thanks for your help.
Cheers
