Hi,

My Discussion title sums it all up. I am working on a fixed wing drone and i was wondering what will a fixed wing do if it loses the GPS signal. If a quadcopter looses Gps it starts to hover and maintain attitude. what would be the best solution for a fixed wing drone.

Thanx

      I am new to drone world. Not familiar with the lingo. What does RTL stand for.

        What autopilot are you putting in your plane?
        If it's an APM, you really better start reading the wiki.
