I want to get some pics of a deep ravine that is not accesible from below but has a mesa ridge on the top I can take off from. Can I fly my Phantom vision 2 from a locaiton where I go down into the ravine. Essentially flying below my home point.
My immediate concerns are as follows:
I concerned about losing satelites considering the walls of the ravine and line of site. I was able to get a bit into the ravine from below and still had 8 satelites but not fully into the ravine which is a bit tighter.
What happens if I have to hit fail safe. WIll it rise above the home point of its current location and essentially crash into the wall insead of remember the altitude of the home point. It is about 400 ft down to the bottom.
If I lost the bird it would be almost impossible to retrieve it due to the terain. May be too risky of a pic to get.
