Hi,
I just configured my radio and APM 2.5 to throttle failsafe mode. When I put the power off from the radios the APM goes to CIRCLE mode, not in RTL mode. OK-> I understood that if I'm flying in STAB or MAN mode (not in any autonomous mode) the fail

I need to make my downward pointing camera to track a coordinate point on ground using 2 servos (x/y-tilt) on camera. Is this possible with current arduplane code?
How to configure it? For example when the plane loiters the camera would be pointed

Does anyone have idea how to make failsafe RTL when GPS fails? Here is some ideas:
OPTION 1:
If GPS fails ardupilot could calculate the distance and bearing to home using the init position fix and the last known position fix before the gps failure.
