Hi guys,
I have a small problem with the RTL. It works great when I trigger RTL.
But when I hit failsafe it first does the 20 second circle and then triggers RTL, this also works
My problem is I want it to go to RTL straight when a failsafe event is triggered, because If I am low and it first circles for 20 seconds it might hit a tree. I have my RTL set to come back on 80m. So it will inmediatly start to climb to 80m and come back.
Is there a way to disable the 20 second circle?
I know the new firmware holds altitude on circle, but I need to climb then.
I see the 1 sec failsafe option but that does not change the circle behaviour.
Thanks

Try uncheck "hold default alt " in MP , it will come back immediately holding the current altitude!
There is no easy way to disable the short failsafe action, since it is hard coded in the arduplane software.
I've had similar issues and concerns like yours.
I modified the arduplane code to enter long failsafe half a second after short failsafe.
It is a crude solution, i'd rather disable the first failsafe all together but I have not tested that out yet.
Now my plane goes into long failsafe 1.5 seconds after loss of signal, which is safe enough for me.
