---|---
| Return-to-Home (RTH)
Brings the aircraft back to the Home Point. Tap again to stop the procedure.
| Auto Landing
The aircraft will land vertically and stop its motors.

  • The aircraft will not avoid obstacles while it is returning to the Home Point, and an appropriate RTH altitude MUST be set before flight. You should also use the control sticks to guide the aircraft. Refer to the Safety Guidelines and Disclaimer for more details.
