Ya shoulda left out the drunk part ScottyT. REPORTED.Mate, with all due respect, I think you might be in the wrong forum, and drunk. Naza this, MC that.
I think the Phantom 3 might behave differently from what you are used to

You're probably right. I guess the P3 doesn't have a NAZA module controlling it.
And that's the reply I expected.

How do you hit the auto land? This only works 20m in range...I thought RTH was only way to auto land... Also do you know in settings what RC signal lost.. Return-to-home or Landing what the difference is I've been curious
Unfortunately consumer grade GPS does not give pinpoint accuracy.Longitude, and Latitude is very a very accurate system I'm guessing it's tracking those coordinates when recording your home point
Yes, you can resume control.My other question is can you cut out RTH when the Battery Low RTH mode is engaged because if I can't this things landing on my house
What's a quad pad ?!?!My guess is that you haven't allowed sufficient time for the NAZA module to accurately record your home point. Do you give it sufficient time to record the home point?
Here's a quote from something which is not specifically for your aircraft but I think it's the same NAZA module:
"Home-point: Before takeoff, current position of multi-rotor will be saved as home-point by MC automatically when you start the motors for the first time after 6 or more GPS satellites are found (red light blinks once or no blinking) for 10 seconds."
From this:

So, if you are not allowing enough time for the data to compute, like you get a go and liftoff right away, perhaps that's the cause.
You could test this by taking off as you normally do and heading out in one direction, then testing RTH to see if that's where it goes. To confirm, you could do the same but head out in a different direction and see if it thinks Home Point is out there.
Welcome to the party adjmirealty, hope you enjoy the show.
There are some helpful links in my signature.
Oh yea, add on a quadpad on your roof.
What's a quad pad ?!?!
My roof is slanted ain't no quad pad for meIt's my idea of humor. A landing pad on the roof. You mentioned, I believe in jest, about your P3 landing on your house.

This forums #1I think it's called "Pitched" and I know a guy... LOL.
Just kidding.
Did you get the answers to your questions? This can be a wonderfully informative place.
Thank you Ma'am, or Sir.This forums #1
Ah-Ha!! So they slipped this paragraph in through a back door or something.If you request the RTH within a 65ft radius of the home point, it will land wherever it's currently at (which is pretty dumb, honestly). This confused me at first too, but it's apparently by design. From the manual (pg 14):
Shouldn't do a compass calibration every time.Wow...when I have used the RTH command my P3 lands within 24" of my take-off point.
I always do a compass calibration before every flying session, maybe that contributes to the accuracy of my RTH landings.
:harry
No .. compass and GPS are two very different thingsWow...when I have used the RTH command my P3 lands within 24" of my take-off point.

IFly is correct, but the accuracy of unaugmented GPS is 16 ft (+/-). The more satellites you have, the more accurate it is. The OP's problem may be his home location- His balcony. The GPS signals may be getting bounced around by the house, the house may be shielding a couple of satellites from the Phantom. Just enough error introduced to displace the location by a meter or two.I'm not sure if I'm reading this correctly, but it's sounding like some folks say it should land "somewhere around" where it took off from.
Nope, it should land within a couple feet of where the "Home Point" is, and that's on a bad day.
On a good day, it should be within inches, not feet.
