1. Long press the auto return home button 2-3 seconds, the drone will
fly back to the takeoff place automatically;
2. Directly turn off the remote control power switch, the drone will return
to the take-off place.
For outdoor flying, we strongly recommend the end user to choose an
open area, as the GPS signal will be strong enough. The GPS signal
will be too wake to have a enjoyful flying if the end user choose to fly
the drone in residential area, as example, because there are too many
buildings, and the glass will refract.
