Ok...when out flying more than 30 feet away from home point no matter the direction or the way the quad is facing, setting left switch to lowest position and pulling back on right stick will bring the quad back to home point. When it is about 30 feet away, it will automatically switch to course lock. So, it's important to remember the direction the quad was facing upon startup. Now, the default rth hight is about 60 feet. If you are out flying and out a ways and have to use FAILSAFE /RTH...it flies straight back to home point. If there is a tree line of 70 foot trees, it will fly into them. That 60 foot rth altitude is from the elevation of home point...not the ground it's over. You can reset home point while flying also. You can also reset the rth altitude. Here's how. Let's say you were walking and flying to another area. Hover the quad, flip left switch from middle position down to lowest position 5 times quickly ending up in middle position. Watch the led on bird. It should give you a quick set of green flashes if you did it correctly. This is your new home point. If you were 50 feet up, your home point is 50 up also. Now your 50 up and the default rth altitude is 60 feet above home point...so your new rth altitude is 110 feet.
