Randy,

Awesome job with ADS-B avoidance.  Noticed in your video that initially you had copter in Loiter and upon detecting aircraft it moved 90 degrees away. What I'm wondering is if you all plan to have the copter return to its original Loiter point?  I noted that you referenced to that pilot can control copter at anytime which is a good thing however,  if I wanted copter to return automatically to original spot your video didn't mention that.

Recommend you all consider this point and code software to allow for auto return to original point.

Thanks for all you guys do!

R,
Doug Walmsley
