Has any one else had the FC40 when they are already flying higher then 20 meters and have it set in the naza software to come home and then land if in safe mode instead of staying up were it is when over 20 meter instead descend down to 20 meters on its own before it heads home? I know with other models if you are below 20 meters it will go up before going home. Which my FC40 will do. BUT I had seen a video that had some tips on how to avoid crashing in to any thing if there were things taller then 20 meters by just raising the elevation to make sure it was higher then 20 meters before flipping the switch in to fail safe. and that it should not change its altitude if its already higher then 20 meters or 66 feet.
BUT twice yesterday when I was up at 50 meters or so and tried to test the go home and land function. It did its hover that it does to allow you time to regain controll if needed then IT DROPPED down to the 20 meter area then mad a bee line home. First time it was not a problem cause there was nothing in its way and it came home and landed about 2 feet from the point it took off from.
BUT the 2nd time yesterday right after i took off it started getting real windy out and felt like a storm was coming in and it caught some head winds that must of been faster then its top speed cause flying straight it was either just staying still and at some points actually going back wards. and I had to bring her down some to find a spot were it was not stuck in such powerful head winds But then at one spot on its flight It went behide a spot were a really tall tree thats about 25 meters tall and and about 2 blocks away from me was making it hard to see it . SO I raised her up as far as she would go which I had it set in the limits to be 50 meters. and was having a hard time fighting the wind again and I wanted her to get home so I decided to flip the switch in to fail safe so it would come home and land and the lil bugger dropped in altitude down the 20meters then started to head some and I lost site of it. and it eventually ended up flying RIGHT IN TO THE tree top because to tree is about 80 feet tall. If she didnt drop down to the 20 meter mark on its own It would of way cleared it and made it home. I had a heck of a time getting it un stuck after I found it in the tree. freaking 20 meters in the air. I had to spend about 5 minutes hitting the throttle and the side to side stick till she finally was able to break free. But by then the battery was low and it just fell to the persons side walk way and busted 2 of my brand new prop guards that I just put on not 1/2 hour before. Tho I'm amazed at how tuff that like bugger is to take a fall from 20 meters up and not have any thing major broken. But really annoyed that the one time I had to have it clear some thing a few feet higher then the 200m mark and had plenty of room to go over that the fail safe made it go down before heading home.
I'm wondering Is it supposed to do that? and did they some how change the latest soft ware to make it not stay were its at if its already above the 20meter limit? and if so Is there any other work around for it. other then to when first taking off from home point to raise her up and then re-record the set point by toggling the s2 switch when its in the air over the home point so that if it goes up or down in fail safe it will go 20 meters about how ever high it was then the home point was re recorded?
OR does any one know if its all possible to hack the naza soft ware in any way shape or form so I can change the setting that tells it to go to 20 meters and make it be at some different height before heading home? 30m would be awesome and would clear any thing around were I'm at being the tree it got caught in is the tallest thing around and is so wide at the top its as wide as it is high.
