"What I do is manually bring the waypoint back to your survey height and if you have 'min safe height above terrain' set correctly, these manual waypoints will add waypoints along the route back home to maintain this safe height. Hope it helps."
"Hi Chris, can you share with me what cable you used to power your drone over the 50m? Chris Anderson said:
Yes, that worked for me. I had to use a 500 watt power supply @48v to minimize/compensate for power loss in that relatively thin cable, but…"

"Hi Randy, loaded RC10 on my Y6 with U8's running 28 inch props, flew very nice over 3.2.1. I especially liked the smooth throttle handling on Loiter take off and landing. Will conduct autotune tomorrow.

Tested, stab, loiter, pos hold and drift. All very nice apart from Drift as drift apples the brake sometimes during forward…"
