Hi
I am a complete newbie and yet to even receive my 1st drone but I have a few waypoint questions. To start with, the drone I am getting is the Hubsan H501A x4 pro. This drone, I understand can travel at up to 5m/s. It has a battery life of approx 20 mins. Allowing for using only 80% battery then in theory the drone should cover 5 x 60 x 15 = 4.5km. This is just my theory and not one of my questions.
1:- I understand that once waypoints are programmed then the flight is controlled by the drones GPS and not the control. Therefore the drone can fly further than the transmitter distance. Correct?
2:- The H501A has a waypoint radius of 1.5km but this can be override. Now, if my geometry is correct then the total distance within a 1.5km radius is 3km travelling from edge to edge. Therefore, would it be possible to fly 3km in one direction and straight back (RTH) overriding the 1.5km default?
3:- When flying waypoints with the H501A you can select the height at the waypoints. If the waypoint is on a hill which is 20mtrs high, does the GPS take this into consideration if I set the waypoint height at 10mtrs or would I need to set the height at 30mtrs to have the drone hover at 10mtrs? Hope that's understandable!
Well, thanks in advance and I look forward to all the answers
