[QUOTE="clouseau, post: 24418, member: 4913"] If you reset your home point after you take off when you are out and away from the building as to were the drone can safely land on the ground near the building that would be ideal precaution to take. I personally don't rely on the use of RTH, I treat it as strickly a failsafe measure only. All the proffesional disciplined drone pilots I've ever worked with also treat RTH only as a last ditch effort to bring home thier drone. I guess I must come from a different school of thought where the rc pilots I've learned from take a lot of pride in being able to take off and land without the use of any atonomous control. Aside from having not reset your homepoint, you was already challenged by taking off from a small area, and doing it in the dark really didn't help your chances of success either. Your chances of a balcony failure was much higher than many of the YouTube videos I've seen where this was done during the day. Sounds like you just got very lucky this time in knowing were doing something you wasnt supposed to. [/QUOTE]
