When you engage RTH, does the heli react at once?
Mine continues in the direction it was travelling for 1-2 seconds before starting to return. It doesn't climb either so if it was falling when RTH is engaged I'm sure it would crash.
Yes, instantly for me. It only takes-over cyclic pitch so you still have to work collective. I think you can add-in min and max height with RTH but I haven't tried that yet. To be clear, I'm only operating RTH for this, Rescue is separate.
Just to add I had to do compass calibration again after swapping the Geolink between models - I checked the 'heading' figure for north orientation on the Geolink settings first page and it was 78, not 90 +/- 4 as specified. Went through calibration again (it does take a while to capture all orientations) and it reported 90. You need a solid blue LED before liftoff on the Geolink. I was impressed how accurate the RTH is, and once there, it's rock solid except for height control.
