Hi I am really new to the Phantom but I have been reading loads of threads with people having flyaways or the go home not working. I have spent today just testing out the go home and recovery and they haven't let me down yet. I would like to just make a suggestion to anyone who is unsure if they are setting the home point properly. Today I turned on my Phantom, waited 8-10 seconds to get gps lock, got a solid green light, started my motors, flew 10 feet away and then turned off my transmitter, counted to 3 and watched as my phantom rose 60ft in the air flew back the 10ft is had flown it then landed itself. After which I turned back on my transmitter and flew off safe in the knowledge that the home was set and working. If your not sure its working then this is a quick test. If your Phantom doesn't fly back switch to att mode and land it and start again.
I got my Phantom today so that it was just about in sight turned off the transmitter and watched it fly all the way back to me.
