[QUOTE="Virtual1, post: 21217, member: 4084"] I'm still testing mine out to get a firm grip on how it behaves in different circumstances, and that was one of my initial fears. I read several user accounts of their drone taking off and not being able to stop it, or landing in water without control. It looks like some of these issues have been addressed wrth software updates. When I hit RTH, it comes back and then gets close to the ground and pops up that "land now" yellow slider on my phone, so I think that was added in response to drones trying a water landing at the end of RTH. I also tried to regain control and was able to have at least some influence on its behavior during RTH, though some have said it will continue to come down while giving you only control over position. (maybe that's when the batteries are critical?) I also saw a popup on my phone giving me the option to cancel RTH in progress but I don't know under what circumstances that is and is not offered. Both the phone and the remote are quite noisy while it is in RTH which is nice, you can't ignore the fact that it's acting on its own. Certainly if you lose your remote/phone connection you won't be able to cancel RTH remotely. If you snag it in your hand, flip it upside down to quickly stop the motors, it's faster/safer than fiddling with the battery button. [/QUOTE]
