Question about RTL and failsafe on ArduPilot

I have a quick question about the ArduPilot and the failsafe Return To Launch function. Can it be programed so that the ArduPilot will continue a mission even if the radio signal is out of range or lost? Also what length of time does the signal have to be lost before ArduPilot comences RTL function.CheersPaul

    The radio-signal loss detection only works for some 72 Mhz radios. Or if you have a 2.4Mhz radio with programmable signal loss behavior on different channels (some Spektrums), you can configure the ArduPilot failsafe 1.6 code to recognize that. But it will require a AVR programmer and some programming skills.

    You should not be flying outside of VLOS with your aircraft so radio performance should not be an issue.
