Hello,
I am using arduplane with APM2.5 2.72. I trigger the RTL mode with throttle failsafe. But once I get the controller back in range (i.e. failsafe becomes false), the plane remain stucked in RTL mode. Is it possible to get the plane back to current mode (NORMAL) once the failsafe =false ?
thank you for help!

From my experience, this does happen while in circle mode, before RTL kicks in (going back to manual once signal is back). This is great, because you're at the controls, and simply wait for manual to appear. Once RTL kicks in, I'd rather deliberately set it back to manual - you might not be watching the screen, assuming it's on it's way home, but it goes to manual again at some random moment when signal returns. It's very dangerous and users will have to be very aware of it and even then, I'll feel very uneasy.
I think that was the logic behind it, plus once the APM is in RTL, I'm sure it doesn't know that it's been failsafed there as opposed to deliberately switched, or via planner or some other mechanism - there will have to be extra code.
It will just create a lot of uncertainty.
PS. Upgrade to 2.76!
