Re: Using Failsafe, to return to Homepoint from several mile
That's a little disconcerting for the outcomes of this test....If the Phantom re-acquires Its Home Point arbitrarily after acquiring it on IMU warm up and subsequent GPS Locks, then this wont work. I will test some this afternoon if I get a chance

Where did you find this ?...I'm under the impression a "rapid 10 green flashes" indicate "Home Point Recorded"
Do you know differently ? Please let us know.
I don't know anything really, just from what I've experienced. I once set the phantom down in a park waiting for green satellite indicator and got the green after a bit. I then picked it up to move it about 20 feet away from a group of kids that came around. After flying a bit I lost sight and turned off control to activate go home and it came back to the take off point rather than the place I initially placed it.
I was still 100 in the air when I took control back so it's hard to judge location, but I do remember thinking it seems to have gone back to the pace I moved it to. I just took that to mean it might wait till you've got 5-10 feet of altitude before activating home point. It's all anecdotal and I haven't tested the theory since.
