I took my DJI450 quad up to Pine Mountain Lake Airport this evening to test out the RTL (Return to Launch) feature of the APM 2.5 auto pilot.  This is unedited video but if you watch, you'll see 4 successful RTL operations (not the most graceful flying, but it works).  After a bit more tuning, I expect it will smooth out some more.

Next up is powering off the transmitter so that I can test the fail safe mode that should engage RTL when there's a loss of signal.
