[QUOTE="Mikel Manitius, post: 10242, member: 1775"] Sorry to hear of your fly away. From all of the experiences that I have read about I will never use gesture mode without first having the remote connected (and at least available to me nearby if I don't hold it all of the time). It's a cool gimmick but not a primary aircraft control mechanism. Second, flying in cities with lots of buildings, glass and concrete around is another problem due to bouncing radio (RC, WiFi and GPS) signals. Did you by chance happen to check what home point was recorded before you took off? (well, I suppose you cannot if you only take off without the remote). I suspect that many fly aways could in fact be triggered RTH with a bad home point set due to not having a good GPS lock at the time the home point is set... just an unverified suspicion, but I now always "check [my] home point on the map" right after liftoff as the voice suggests. Did you look at the flight record data? It might give you a clue as to what decisions the active track software was making when it flew away... [/QUOTE]
