Set RTH before takeoff

[Yordie]

You can not SET a RTH position (Home Point) manually, you can only CHANGE it.

RTH position is set automatically by the drone itself as soon as it has aquired enough GPS satelites.
Then it will be set again upon take off.

You can only change the RTH position during flight by moving it on the screen (the blue dot).

Most likely your drone will NOT have enough GPS satelites while it is still inside.

Also there’s a good chance that if you loose connection to the drone while it is still inside it will ascent to the set RTH altitude and crash into the ceiling, unless you have ‘Signal loss behaviour’ set to ‘hover’ or ‘land’.

READ the manual of your drone !

Moving the homepoint

You can only move the home point while flying, I know. But even while flying it’s near impossible, I keep on scrolling the map around. Litchi seems to expect me to hit the 5 pixels of the homepoint with my big fat fingers while the phone is embedded inside the controller. Not easy. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a “move home point” button somewhere, or some way to be sure that you move the homepoint rather than the map if you… doubletap then hold or whatever secret combination?
