Choosing Your Launch Location
There are many options on where to place
your Quantix Mapper for launch. This
location will be considered ‘Home.’
In general you want to choose
a location that is:
•
Flat and even ground
• Clear of all obstacles
within a 50 ft. radius
Not Great
Better
Choose the Best Launch Location
A Return Home Path Could:
•
Fly over adjacent areas
•
Fly into an unsafe area
•
Fly into an undesirable zone
This launch location results in long
Return Home paths outside the area.
Any Return Home Path Would:
•
Fly over intended areas
•
Fly in a safe area
•
Not fly in an ideal path
This launch location at least keeps
return paths over more of the area.
Centrally-Located All Return Home Paths:
•
Have best line-of-sight
•
Fly directly over intended areas
•
Fly in a safe area
This ideal launch location is also centrally
located to minimize the time to execute a
Return Home.

Use Your Best Judgment
— Select the best possible launch location based on
obstacles, neighboring fields, and prevailing winds.
