[QUOTE="DesertWindAero, post: 14265, member: 69"] GPS and control signal strength are two different things. From the manual, "...If the Home Point was successfully recorded, GPS signal is strong, and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH will be automatically activated if the wireless [i.e., control] signal is lost [for[ three seconds when using the remote controller and 20 seconds when [controlling via device]..." "...The aircraft cannot return to the Home Point when the GPS signal is weak or unavailable." With the Spark, there is no switch for ATTI and GPS, but if it loses GPS it will automatically go into ATTI and make an announcement. Pressing the RTH button will do nothing because there is no "remembered" Home Point. ATTI will usually hold the current altitude pretty well, but the aircraft will drift with any wind and you will need to make course corrections. That's why you need to keep it in sight at all times.
