Ok, so after a successful test indoors, I decided to try the Phantom outdoors.
First off, the test indoors was done in ATTI mode due to not being able to get a lock on enough satellites (I don't know how to check how many satellites is getting, all I see is the slow flashing yellow lights)
The indoor test was successful except when my friend piloted the drone, he hit the wall twice because he is not used to the reverse commands when not standing behind the drone.
I flew it without problems.
Off to the outdoors test I went.
GPS lock was good (green lights) and I did a short test over my house. GPS was working well, as I did a hold test and pushed the P2 with my hands and it returned to the original position.
I must say I'm impressed on how stable it is. I did other flights and I was able to get within inches from my house window and I flew it very very close to objects close to the ground just to test stability and maneuverability and it's really impressive.
My question is how to best try the return to home / failsafe?
I'm a little scared about it and certainly I won't try it near my house as there are many trees around the area.
Here's the footage I got:

Thanks.
