    This video is from the on-board camera and shows a double return to home test.

    The first leg was the further of the two tests. When the hexacopter was down field the return to home and was initiated and the hexacopter was allowed to return to hovering above home however before decent control was switched back to manual flight mode and the hexacopter was flown down field again.

    On the second leg return to home was initiated and this time the hexacopter was left to return to home and descend on it's own.



    Here is a Google My Tracks path and flight data link:

    Glad to see you have that little life saver working.  ;)

    The last part of the video, you landed the copter or it did on it's own?

    You can say that again!

    The hexacopter landed completely on it's own.  You can almost see that the transmitter was on the ground in front of me, so not even in my hands.
