Neo2 and RC 2 and RTH

[Timehunter]

Was flying my Neo2 with the RC2 and lost communication then it reconnected but it had also changed the RTH location to around 100 yards away from the original.
Will not go into that story about where it landed and why I could not do anything about it. That is for another story!
Now I am gun shy about leaving the RTH where it set it at the beginning of flight, so now I have it return to the controller as a home point.
Even doing that when it returns and is landing, it is round 5 or 10feet away.

Anyone having problems losing connection and the RTH point changing after getting reconnected? And how to stop it from doing that?!!!
Also anyone know why it lands so far away from my controller when I use it as an RTH point?

You sure you had home point set before taking off? RTH never changes but it's common to take off too soon, then it sets once in flight further away when GPS is good enough.

Controller RTH is not dynamic, when you set it it takes the current phone position but then if you move that doesn't follow. Obviously depends on the precision the phone provides.

Appreciate the reply and input but as stated I was using the RC2 controller, on manual.
When I was losing connection then re-establishing connection is when it would update RTH point, wherever it was at that time.
And yes, it had already set a home point during takeoff.
Also, when the controller is set as the home point, it still is not very accurate even with good satellite connection.
It still returns home around 10 feet or so away from the controller.
Still a rookie at this Neo2 and RC2 drone stuff though.....

Did a lot of regular RC Airplane flying in the past.
Which is why, in mode2 or even better...mode 1, I wish I could set up the controller so when you pull back on the right stick, it would go up instead of down.
With the RC Airplane controller when you pulled back on the right stick, it would make the elevator go up so the airplane would go up.
Now.... If I go to fly an RC airplane, I have to switch commands in my head before I go dumb thumbs and run it into the ground instead of it climbing.
Fun...
Not...

If it loses satellite connection and gets it back it will set the rth position to the current location of the drone it also does it when it gets enough satellite after takeoff.

There actually is a costum stick mode button next to mode 3.

Yes, but it will not let you swap that part around.
heck, even in a real airplane you pull back on the stick to go up.
Wonder why DJI does it that way.
Guess I will never know
Will get in touch with them to see if there is some way to do it in the custom mode because right now it can not be done.

Simple, it's a different aircraft type.

You're flying something akin to a helicopter where that stick is collective/power, not an airplane where that stick controls pitch. Your job to learn a different aircraft type like anyone who flies both airplanes and helis.
