Home lock ?

[fritz99]

Hello !

Can anybody explain to me what home lock does if the kopter is nearer than 10 meters ?
If the kopter is further away than 10 meters if I pull the nick towards me the kopter comes to me no matter in what direction it points.
But if the kopter passes the 10 meter distance from far away does it still come towards me or does he react different within the 10 meters ?
If it reacts different this could become a real horror.

I'm interested in testing out Home lock too. I have a nice field that I can test it in without worrying about crashing it. I did a video on the course lock mode and plan on doing one for home lock mode.

As far as I can tell from the manual, Home lock mode will orient your craft towards it's home position. I guess it's a way to keep the nose pointed towards a point of interest (like for filming). It won't activate unless the craft is 10 meters or more from it's recorded home position. So if you are flying your craft (like over a parked car), you'll want to record a new home position by flicking the switch several times and then fly over 10 meters from that position so that you can fly around the point of interest while keeping the nose pointed in the right direction. Windy huh?? I'll do a video when I have some time. I'm curious too.

Anyway heres a video of Course Lock mode until I get one for Home lock mode: Youtube
