Great video. One thing I do, instead of powering off the TX, temporarily assign a switch to failsafe in the modes tab. This way, if your quad doesn't respond properly, you can quickly disengage the switch and take over control of your quad.

[@babang_des]

Thanks for the info! But I went all in JUST to show it’s possible if your controller turns off or what ever then it will work. All for Science 🧬😂. If Betaflight 4.5 claims to be good, then how good is it? Will my quads get crazy or will it act like it should? I guess now we find out 😂🫶🏾

It sure is, for long range flights

[@icp-trek]

After 9 years of flying multirotor, the 5v lead to my receiver on a 10" quad came off in flight. The soldered end of a cable is very brittle and vibrations in the frame or even wind can cause fatigue on the the strands. Scary moment. It came back safely with BF 4.4.2. I recommend that you apply liquid tape (or similar) over the solder point and cable so that the vibration or flex happens on the cable but not at the solder point.

[@babang_des]

Thanks for the tip! Sound scary to lose your quad

[@robsonalves400]

Very nice thx for the video. Great job 😃👍 for BF 4.5 do you need the compass for RTH, or its only gps? Greatings from switzerland

[@babang_des]

No you don’t need it actually! Just make sure you have good good/solid connections and lock GPS

[@squirrelynutz1]

One thing I noticed is your baud rate was 11520. The new gps rescue wiki says this The recommended baud rate is 57600. There is little to be gained by using 115200 with the recommended 10hz data rate. Lower baud rates reduce the CPU time required for parsing the incoming data and are more resistant to electrical noise. Also, add mag and barometer. Especially the mag. It made a huge difference with returning to home in the wind. It's more sure of itself.

[@babang_des]

Thanks man!!!!! The 11520 was on the gps that I was using as recommended. I’ll do some more these on that!!! That’s for the mag tips 🫶🏾

[@christianmong-hansen1835]

Do you know why a quad would fly home sideways? (But in the right direction)It does land within 0.5 meters From take off point tho. And its a lot of winds!

[@BBSlats]

Awesome video thanks for this

[@babang_des]

Glad you liked it!

[@PaSu_FPV]

Nice video! Consider setting the failsafe in Betaflight to a switch on the controller next time. If for example during the rescue mode, the copter flips upside down during landing because it has hit an obstacle and your controller is turned off, you won't be able to DISARM while your copter is freaking out, attempts to drill itself to the center of earth. The next thing is, it's better to land the copter with the motors running and then activate the Rescue Mode. If the Rescue Mode doesn't work, the motors will stop, but your copter won't fall out of the sky.

[@babang_des]

Yeah I wanted to do that but I went all in by turning it off for the experiment 🔬😂hahahah but yeah that’s true.

[@MrStevegibb]

Failsafe of a switch is pointless it doesn't test failsafe just the operation of the mode you have to actually loose radio link to test the detection and correct opperation of failsafe.

[@babang_des]

Good to know, more test will be coming

[@dwalosie]

Wrong@@MrStevegibb

[@MrStevegibb]

@@dwalosie explain how i am wrong or shutup. A failsafe switch does not test the most important part of the failsafe setup, that your flight controller can tell you have lost signal. You can test gps rescue with just a switch using failsafe on a switch virtually does the same. The best way to test would be to fly to the other side of a sports field and land bur stay armed then turn off your radio it should just take off and fly home. Obviously you would need to turn back on before it gets home. Another way would be to put your drone radio into range test mode to allow you to simulate a signal loss at closer range.

Hi Man ! Hope you re well ? What s the difference between 4.4 and 4.5 rescue ? All my quads are on 4.4 and RTH works just super fine. Do you know what is happening if for exemple, you re not receiving video in your goggles anymore, and then fail safe is activating and at the same time you panic et switch on the fail safe Button on your radio ? Is there any security ? Or it just cut off the failsafe ?

[@babang_des]

As far as I know if you Truly failsafe and you flip the switch then nothing will happen to the quad because there is no connection. So if you lose imagine I would ALWAYS flip my switch.

Betaflight firmware does not use a barometer for GPS rescue. Barometer for OSD only.

What GPS model is mounted on the quad please? Also I see that you are using 4500mAh LiPo battery...why not to use Li-Ion?
