Cautionary Tale.

[Phantomhoofy]

I was testing the return to home feature and realized my phantom was heading towards my car :shock: , then i remember i turned ON the Phantom in the car due to the cold weather outside. Luckily i regained control and from now on i will remember to do the powercycle in an open space before flight. Also controlling the PV with gloves isn't recommended, but what can one do here in Norway when its cold. :roll:

Don't forget you can reset the home point by flicking S2 if you have latest firmware. Watch out for big lumps of metal like your car and the effect they can have on your compass, though...

Don't feel bad first time I tried that, I **** near landed in a large Oak tree (launching from a shady spot) - doh!
