Ok, so I have been looking around everywhere and there may also be a post that is dedicated to this question. I have seen you tube videos of a working setup on version 2.3, but i cannot find any sketch info. Does someone have a working version of 2.3 with RTH and autoland? Is this something that is being developed? I am not sure if my 9x will do a radio receiver failsafe properly. Although I will be testing unless someone tells me different. Even if my radio failsafe will work it would only do a RTH at best, I am more interested in the autoland. I am looking forward to any input. Thanks

I recommend to use pre 2.4, it returns home and lands and shuts down motors.

You can create mission with WinGUI or Ez-GUI (Android). There are "RTH" or "Land" waypoint types. You can define RTH with first parameter "1", it means "return to home and land" or you can use "Land" so copter lands at waypoint and shuts down motors after seconds from landing.

Actually, I was more interested in how the failsafe RTH was expected to be done; the rest is well known from the protocol. but thanks anyway.
