En cas de perte de signal, le MK peut maintenant revenir à la base (en maintenant une altitude donnée)

Basically the idea is, to bring the MikroKopter back into the reception range.

  • In this case GPS, compass and altitude control will be automaically enabled. When the signal is back, it goes back to 'Manual Control'
  • After the set time, the MK uses "Emergency Gas" to perform a descending
  • The time is limited to 30 seconds, this is enough to go through short rc signal lost times and put the MikroKopter nearer to the starting point

  • Waypoints are cancelled until the reception is back
  • The MK is flying a direct route towards the home position
  • If a "Coming Home Altitude" is set, this will be used immideately with a sink/rise-speed of 3.0m/sek
  • When signal is back, the MK will not go back to the old Position or altitude automatically

{i} Note: By default, the CH-Time is to 0sec, that means it is disabled by default. It can be set under "MISC" (expert setting).

/!\ ATTENTION: Before using this function the user have to clarify whether such a mode acceptable to the particular place or not of a legal, actuarial or other provisions is permitted.

/!\ Attention: Please do not imitate! If you turn off the transmitter, the MK is not necessarily under control. Turning on the transmitter may take a few seconds.
