Hi
I've done a search for RTH height but can't find my answer.

If I'm stood on a hill top is my RTH altitude calculated from my take off point? So If I fly down into a valley 100ft and my RTH is set at 100ft, my bird will climb 200ft and RTH?

Thanks
Phil

Yes. When you fly down 100ft, your altitude will then show -100ft. So, your Phantom will have to climb 200ft to get back to 100ft.

Thanks. I thought it might but just wanted someone's input

Thanks
 
Just a quick follow up. If I set RTH at 100' and I'm flying at 200', will it return at 200' or drop to 100' and come home?
I'm curious because I sometimes start out in a valley and fly above the surrounding hills. Thanks for your help.

RTH will never descend to come home.
If your Phantom is at or above RTH height, it just comes home.
