I have tried this and lost connection and it appeared that it was trying to return to home on the lost connection. H501A FC 1.1.46 RX 1.1.50
There seems to be a difference of opnion on the various Groups on Facebook regarding this behavior.
I believe ( from testing) that the H501A or other waypoint drone will RTH on lost connection and terminate the Waypoint flight. Is this correct?
If in the middle of an RTH sequence from lost connection due to the pilot thinking that they can turn off the transmitter and that waypoints will continue without a controller. Although the mission is stored in H501A it has the information needed to fly the mission it is believed by some that the H501A will either A- continue with mission or B- RTH on lost connection? Which is correct a- or b ?-.
If the transmitter reconnects while in lost connection RTH failsafe will the H501A stop at that point and hover? In a noisy flight location precious time can be consumed wher landing the H501a may h av the Low battery failsafe. Another way to lose the H501A.True or not?
Some have suggested turning off the HT011A controller and APP during a waypoint mission and believe that the H501A will continue flying waypoints. This begs a definitive answer about lost connections and RTH. Will a lost connection while in Waypoint Autonomous flight continue on flying the mission or will lost connection protocol kick in?. I believe the latter based on experience. Please check with R&D to see which has precedence.
If in an RTH due to failsafe condition occurs and pilot turns off and on the transmitter will the RTH failsafe stop when the controller re-established connection?
Next question in waypoint mission definitions is there a version of the Hubsan app that defines a waypoint as a landing point? In all the missions I have done I cannot find a property like this for waypoints. Does one exist?
Last point of clarification needed. On a long waypoint mission with battery falling to 6.8 volts or below will the H501A land at the point of low power? This could result in a landing on top of a building, in the water, or on trees etc. if not worse.
Some pilots are under misconception that fly a waypoint mission and you can just wait for it to land itself without failure. As they set setup a mission and get some tea or coffee and you drone will be waiting for them when they come back. If there are no failsafes triggered it should be hovering at last waypoint waiting for landing control. But with Lost connection and low power failsafes I believe one can get into trouble and possibly lose a drone.
Another Series of things for manuals, Back to Basics or FAQs to address.
Please answer each of the 10 questions to clarify features and limitations of Waypoint flying with the HT011A + APP + Smartphone.These same issues may be present flying with the H7000 controller.
Thanks in Advance for researching my 10 scenarios and resultant questions
Happy Hubsan flying
