> The last time I looked at the retail quadcopter/RC plane market, when faced with a communications failure most of the quadcopters would return to the launch point and safely land.
Very few micro and mini quads have this functionality.
Return To Home functionality is common any medium and larger RC aircraft intended for FPV flying.
Often fixed wing RC with RTH functionality won't attempt to land, it return to home and enter a circular holding pattern until contact is re-established or the battery fails.
That isn't really accurate at all.
