Thx!

Took this last night in downtown Jacksonville, FL.

Good to know that it was flying as it should. I appreciate you taking a look. I think what through me off on my judgement of when to come home was the altitude. Normally when I fly at a couple hundred feet, 30% battery is when I start to come home.

My critical battery indicator went off at 28% battery life triggering the auto landing. Does it adjust from your default setting based on how far and high you are flying from the home point?

Seems like the consensus is that it's my fault so I'll take the blame, hopefully others can learn from my mistake. My critical setting for battery life is at the default, 10%, from everything I can see, it never reached 10%. Isn't that when the aircraft is supposed to automatically land...

Here's a screenshot I took when I got the phantom back to my car (I restarted the phantom which is why the home point changed). About 8 minutes had passed from when the phantom landed and I retrieved it/turned it off.

The return to home kicked in at 30% battery life. Isn't critical much lower? I thought it had plenty of time to come back the 1000 feet.

Here's the rundown of what happened... Setup the phantom and did my pre-flight check in the middle of a parking lot. Got the home point set notification and the green ready to fly indicator (had at least 12 satellites linked up) Zoomed in on the map to verify my home point was correct before...

I can confirm ParsnipHysorter's findings. I've tested out the 1.6 firmware and noticed that vertical speed seemed the same as the 1.4 firmware I previously had, 10-11 MPH with full battery and repeated tests for the next 8 minutes or so. Then once the battery had drained some (don't know the...
