[vellocer]

Hi all... first post,

I just built a f450 with naza lite....
Its only picking up 5 satellites at best in my current location(Brisbane, Australia)..... so what will happen if failsafe is set to go-home?

Thanks Paul.

I think you'll most likely be fine. Does naza lite have a Home Lock function? You could use that at least to see if it knows how to come back to your start location

Do you have anything else on your copter that could be causing interference like a FPV transmitter?

No other transmitters... just a gopro.

Is it an wide open field that you fly at?

It is very possible the GPS signal, (or lack of signal) is location related.... Do I need to change my F/S to "Land" for when Home is not established?.

I would yes.... Can you get to a more open field?

Well, I just flew it out in the open, and the red lights went out.... Hooray. I tried failsafe, and it worked very well(bit of a bumpy landing).....
but is quite unnerving.

Yay! Good to hear! And you're right, it IS unnerving. LOL! Kind of a helpless feeling but now you know it works and you can trust your equipment. Happy for you Vellocer!
