I've seen this recommended several times and I'm trying to understand the logic behind it.
In my case, it seems having it on couldn't hurt: New flyer, Phantom 2 V2, no FPV, basic setup.
I do not fly that far away but sometimes far enough that I can't see if the lights start flashing red to indicate it has hit the first level.
In fact on the few flights I've made I find myself bringing it back just to have a look at the battery indicators. Paranoid much?
If it did hit low battery and start to go home, I think I would realize something was going on and could then switch to ATTI and bring it in quickly.
This may be a bad assumption on my part.
If I have it off, it could hit that level and if it were too far to see it, I would not know and gravity would eventually do it's thing. :shock:
Am I missing something?
