Set the RTL switch to ON to end your flight and return the X8 to
the launch point automatically. Once you activate RTL, set the
throttle stick fully down, and the X8 will automatically disarm after
landing. The X8 will not disarm automatically unless the throttle
stick is set fully down. Ensure that the RTL switch is set to OFF
before takeoff.

When commanded to RTL, the X8 will:

1 Achieve minimum altitude of 15 m (50 ft) or maintain current altitude if
above 15 m.
2 Move to launch point and loiter for 5 seconds.
3 Land at launch point. Wait a few seconds and disarm automatically.
