Hi guys,
I just have two questions for ya:
1. Hypothetically, if you let your Phantom hover at one spot and a gust of wind blows it 10 feet, will it hover at the new spot or return back to the old spot because of GPS?
Please serious answers only, lol. Don't respond by saying 'don't fly if it is windy.'
2. Let's say I am flying over water and it started to get windy and I pressed the RTH button in panic, do you guys think that is a good idea?
My guess is no, because wind isn't being calculated into the drone programming. If you guys ever notice, when pressing the RTH button, the drone kinda hovers there in one place for a few seconds before flying back to the home point. And when it flies back, it is flying pretty slow. It is better if you calmly maneuver it yourself back home manually rather the RTH button. RTH mode might just blow it off course easier because of its slowness.
What are you guys' predictions or theories? lol
