Does anyone know how accurate the RTH feature is? Within 1foot or so?

It is as accurate as consumer GPS is - usually within 2.5 metres, occasionally a little more.Does anyone know how accurate the RTH feature is? Within 1foot or so?
This is a different matter and not related to RTH accuracy.FYI, as specified in the manual, anything with 65 feet is acceptable to the phantoms software. For example, if you triggered RTH while the a/c was less than 65 feet from you, it would descend and land without trying to get closer to the home point

According to www.GPS.gov which is the Official U.S. Government information about the Global Positioning System (GPS) and related topics:What a lot of people don't realize is that the system we all know and love (GPS) is owned and operated by the USA Government/Military and they can do as they please with it. ie selective availability etc etc
In one of my tests a split rail fence would have taken the drone out unless I got really lucky and it landed on a 4" railThe US GPS spec is "within 16 ft, 95% of the time. Most of the time, in my testing, it comes in far closer, but counting on it being much inside the spec is asking for trouble - think the edge of a cliff or the bank of the ocean.

It is a accurate as the owners/operators of the GPS system want it to be.
