Just throw your multicopter in the air real high and only engage motors when above the minimum altitude limit :-)

Make sure you got video of the event !

u4eake,

Thanks for the advice! Your approach makes the video capture of the touchdown much easier. My solution was LIM_ALT_MIN = -4m, but then the touchdown location would be less predictable.

No more jokes. Activation of the geofence (LIM_ENABLED=1) by RC after takeoff, when the multicopter is inside the fence?

i dont have the documentation in front of me now, but remember the same thing stood out when i read it the first time.  however, on the second read i noticed that the minimum altitude comes into effect once youve cleared that boundary.  so you can take off from below minimum.

james,

that is what the user expect. If it is so, it should be documented. I will test as soon as I am back from CH.
