Fly home altitude: the altitude to ascend or descend to when returning to home, and to maintain once the
model has returned. This is chosen with the “Fly home at this altitude:” setting.
If the altimeter drifts due to changes in barometric pressure or other causes, the fly home altitude will
be higher or lower than the actual altitude by the amount of the drift. A very large decrease in
barometric pressure, such as can occur if a storm is moving in, might result in the model descending into the
ground when RTH is triggered, if your Fly Home Altitude is set too low!
Yawing toward home: If you would like the multirotor to turn (yaw) towards home before returning
to home, set the “Yaw multi toward home for RTH” to “Yes”.
This is not recommended for line of sight flying, since the multirotor will likely be pointing in a
different direction than when you last had control over it, which can be confusing for line of sight.
Advanced Return to Home Options: There are several advanced options that can be configured for RTH,
under the “Advanced Setup…” menu. These are described in section 8.4 - 'Advanced RTH Setup’.
6.13.3 Configuring Maximum Altitude and Maximum Distance
These settings, found under the “Safety Configuration Menu,” set a virtual boundary that limits how far your
model can travel from the home point. This can be helpful to ensure that the model doesn’t fly away
unintentionally.
Maximum Altitude: If this setting is nonzero, the MicroVector will take over control whenever the model
exceeds this limit, and attempt to return the model to the home point.
Maximum Distance Radius: If this setting is nonzero, the MicroVector will take over control whenever the
distance from the home point exceeds this setting, and attempt to return the model to the home point.
The maximum distance feature will not function if the GPS does not have an adequate signal.
The maximum altitude and distance overrides can be canceled by moving the control stick. If either of
the maximum limits continue to be exceeded, the MicroVector will continue to take over control as soon as the
stick is centered. Once the model is back within the set maximum distance and altitude, the control stick can be
centered without the MicroVector taking over control.
