Looking around the internet I have not been able to find good answers to basic questions about the Phantom.
So hopefully someone here may have one and can answer some of the following questions.
1. What is the recommended maximum wind to fly the phantom in (using GPS mode).
2. What happens if you get a wind gust above that speed... (Once the gust stops will it return to the original location if no more input to the unit is given?)
3. If the phantom lost connection with the radio, would it automatically regain it when it cam back in range? Or once it starts an auto land process must it complete that before it would accept manual input?
4. Can you do something to force/confirm your HOME location... So you are 100% sure before you take off that it has set the location as a home? (Everything I read is that if you wait 10 seconds before taking off with a good GPS signal it will set a new home location. My concern if you don't have a visual confirmation you may think you have done that but not have done it. And if something was to go wrong it would try to return to the home location it had yesterday!)
All the best,
