[QUOTE="mabo, post: 67305, member: 13227"] With limited flight time I tried to figure out the quickest way for the spark to return home. I did some experiments and I found interesting results I like to share. Here they are. [B]First experiment - RTH[/B] Starting point: 70 meters high, 200 meters away. From the home point I flew straight to the starting point. Then I pressed the RTH button on the remote controller. Total time to get back: [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]100 seconds[/B][/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)][B].[/B][/COLOR] [INDENT]5s for a 180° U turn[/INDENT] [INDENT]30s to reach the coordinates right above the home point (while keeping the same altitude, ie 70m)[/INDENT] [INDENT]14s (!) for another 180° U turn[/INDENT] [INDENT]51s to land[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [B]Second experiment - SPORT[/B] Starting point: 70 meters high, 200 meters away. From the home point I flew straight to the starting point, then I U-turned the spark 180°. Total time to get back: [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B]60 seconds.[/B][/COLOR] [INDENT]20s to reach the coordinates right above the home point (while keeping the same altitude, ie 70m)[/INDENT] [INDENT]40s to land[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
