I have the plane bought on udrones.com. Today i set the way points with the plane plugged in, then wrote the WPs to the plane and left the USB connected. Then I got in my car, pressed auto and the motor started to run. The first command was to takeoff at my car, which when the motor turned on i assumed it "took off". I had 2 other waypoints, #2 was at an intersection at the end of my street that just had "waypoint" command. The 3rd waypoint had no lat. or long. but its command was RTL. I thought that once the plane reached waypoint 2 that the servos would turn and attempt to have the plane go back to my house. Instead once the plane and car reached waypoint 2 (saw it on the GPS when connected to the computer), the motor shut off. Don't know why or how. also is there a way to see what mode the plane is in when the usb is connected to the computer? I just ordered the telemetry kit, is the current mode displayed in that data? If not how would you know which mode its in mid flight. I'm trying not to have a R/C tx/rx connected to the plane so its completely autonomous. Thanks and really appreciate any help I can get
