I also remember some one stating it was a bad idea. Maybe one of the "bad idea" people can step in and state why they think so.
The manual doesn't say it's a bad idea.
But it does say that RTH will activate when signal is lost, whether that's from switching off or going out of range.
I can't imagine what might be wrong with switching the Tx off to initiate RTH but would be happy to hear any ideas.
In my situation last week, it was my only option and worked a treat.
I absolutely agree it should be tested, along with home lock. If there are two ways to initiate it (turn off the tx or flip a switch) I'll flip a switch and leave the tx on.
If once it gets back into view and I want to take control back, I won't have to worry about whether they will sync back up or how long it will take.
Maybe I'm just being paranoid.
