Yes, always test RTH first. Also-I always look for the rapidly green flashing lights indicating home lock, and, I compare the distance, height and azimuth on the iOSD to make sure it corresponds to my location. Before hitting fail safe, turn around and look for the little diamond...if its' over your head or near your location, and the distance is correct-flip the switch.
Also, try it at about 10 meters. You should see the aircraft stop, climb, then rotate very smoothly, directly back to the diamond, then nose over to about 10 degree's or so, with no wind-the speed is around 10m/sec. Keep that in mind when you use it. If you have a strong head wind going back, I'd just flip "home lock", then Attitude, pull back on the stick, and it will haul a$$.
I got back from my 1113 meter flight, in under a minute!!! And, I was going backwards. It hit something like 20m/sec. Once I returned, I still had something like 5 minutes of flight time remaining......now what do I do?? LOL
Thanks for the great advice, I will try homelock and atti on return if i need to get back quickly. I might try 3/F as my buddy and I were on the same channel today, so one of us is going to have to change.
