I call this video "Return to Home" because that's what the drone did after it had a malfunction on North Sandia Peak. I took the two mile hike from the top to this viewing area, in light drizzle and fog all the way. A few minutes after I arrived, the clouds parted and I decided to get out the drone even though it was still spitting rain. I don't know if it was the rain or something else, but in mid-flight it flashed a warning and entered "Return to Home" mode. In this mode, it tries to go back to the takeoff point. Navigation is good only to within a few feet, and as it came it I saw that it was going to land right on the edge of a cliff. It came down on a sharp rock and fell over, breaking one of the blades, but at least it didn't go over the cliff. Blades are the cheapest things to replace, so I came out lucky. I learned a lesson: Never take off by the edge of a cliff, and find a wide, flat place if possible. BTW, since I had neglected to bring along my reading glasses, I didn't see the rainbow until I "RETURNED TO HOME".
