Hi All,
Today was the day to test RTH, and it didn't! I have a DX7s with AR800 Rx on an F550. Everything is setup perfect in the assistant and has been bound for fail safe and has been flying great for the last few weeks. So i go out to the BIG field in front of the house and power up with a good blinking green light. Take off in GPS and hover about 20ft up, then fly out about 80 ft. I hit the fail safe and it does its thing, climbs to about 60ft and starts back to me where it stops and starts to toilet bowl. So i disengage FS and take over and land. Recalibrate the compass and reboot to learn home again. I do this same thing 2 more times! Still the same thing of toilet bowl above me. So i adjust the compass slightly in opposite direction of TBE and recalibrate everything. I start my last attempt as all the rest, but this time when i hit the FS it takes off like a madman heading North and flying crazy. I don't panic as I'm in a BIG field and have already regained control on prior three flights. Well, this time there is no gaing control back. Straight for the trees and CRASH! What the heck?
Any insight welcomed,
John
