| Auto fly back is a feature I run on an airplane, U-NAV unit, it works. Getting a heli to return to base would involve a few extra crash parts and some time to tinker I wouldn't say it is impossible to do, but having the downlink arrow is sufficient for me, the current return to base capable heli systems, as we know, are around $10k
If I was to try it I would use the UNAV RTL module, on the tailrotor control, and run tight leveling on the HC Rigid unit, with a heavy forward attitude trim (momentarily applied with the RTL). So clicking into flight mode 3 for example would engage RTL and nose down. This would give a ground speed of about 20 MPH, gradually curving toward base as helicopter movement senses GPS position changes. I suspect real world results may vary, currently do not have an expendible helicopter to try, maybe you can do it Borneo?
