BetaFlight GPS Rescue - Does it work?? Testing with iFlight Nazgul5 V2 and Team Black Sheep M8 GPS

In short - yes, it works. But - not exactly as expected. Read on...
This was a very short range LOS test using my iFlight Nazgul5 V2 with the Team Black Sheep M8 GPS module. Testing BetaFlight 4.2 and GPS Rescue Mode with standard settings. It performed really well, returning pretty close to the take off mat and my only input was the kill switch when 2ft off the ground.
Something to be aware of though, I've used RTH on several other quads (DJI/Blade) and the function there is really quite different to the BetaFlight Rescue Mode. On other quads they return to the home point at a fixed altitude and then descend directly down to land. You can see that Betaflight takes a much more circular approach to the landing. This could be a significant drawback if you're flying in a smaller or restricted location. I'll look at this further and see what others report too in regards to this. Overall, really impressed with the results of this (albeit short) test.
