So yea, as the title says, anything GPS related is not working
RTL is just flying away and so it ALT HOLD, i noticed it was getting a GPS lock very fast after power up, like 2 flashes and there was a GPS lock.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

4/4 rtf flights and great position hold.
However after reading more on this issue, i see this is not a new one at all. I dont think it is the power interfering (mind you still pays to give it some distance) but i have found many posts of this and am still reading (eyes are getting saw).
This is scary, i want to know when i hit RTL, it does exactly that, returns to launch.
Right now i cannot trust this, having said that ive had this exact GPS unit return to the same position within half a meter of the lock.
Im really worried now, i always said with all mu issues ive been having atleast i could hit RTl and all is good. But not anymore
Ill do somemore reading and testing tommorow.
Right now i need sleep or ill never rise for work....HAHA
Thanks for your help as usual..
Do not limit yourself to the area of the CF plates. You can always add more plate on top of what you have to allow for better layout/access.
For instance, in my blog post HERE, I added an extension to a standard (at the time) 3DR size stack plate. What this did was to allow the diversity receiver components proper orientation and kept them free from unintended contact.
Build on!

From what I have read previously, there are base altitude values for many modes that can give the appearance of a fly-away.
Look THIS over... set a Max Altitude (and enable it). Bear in mind the calibrations needed to move into this realm. They can change with software release.
I am thinking if the Max Alt is set and enabled, even in Stabilized mode it will function. In truth, I have yet to mess around with any mode other than Stabilized. My desire is to gain flight experience so that the aircraft attributes familiar to me.
Good luck!
