I just flew my P4 Plus from the top of a cliff. Elevation at home point was about 420'. I took off and went up to 150'. I set my RTH height to 200'. I then wanted to fly off the cliff and then wanted to descend closer to the river which is beyond the cliff. Elevation of the river is 0' or close to it.
But then something occurred to me- If I lose connection while flying over the river, what is RTH going to do ? If I lose connection while I'm flying over the river at say 150' above the river, the Phantom would have to ascend from the point of lost connection to a height of 470' to get to the the cliff top and the RTH height of 200'. Or would it just ascend 50' from the 150' of the lost connection ?
