I am watching my video from last test flight.
I had strong wind - enabled RTL (same as if I lost connection) - and the plane turned nice to home, being at Altitude 160m - maybe 100 meters from home, it flew at 0% throttle and 0-1m/s speed for several minutes, needless to day, almost not coming home at all. If the wind was a bit stronger, I may be able to fly backwards.
Is autopilot using airspeed ? (no throttle was set - is that because of sufficient altitude and airspeed?)
Can autopilot be told to ensure that the distance to home decreases - apply throttle even if altitude is good ?

Another reason for asking; I am flying in Norway, snow ice, even water combined with some airspeed may easily block the active tube even if temperature is well above 0degreeC
Heated tube is the only, and power-consuming solution.
