Yes, this has been discussed several time on the board and you may want to use the search feature for more information. But flying below takeoff alt is no problem. Solo still knows the takeoff alt and is simply going negative while below it.hi,
If I take off from the top of a overlook, am I able to fly down below the takeoff altitude?
I didn't want to try it, in case it thought it should be landing and did something unexpected.
Thanks!

It just shows 0 altitude but doesn't go below negative
Solo still knows the point of takeoff/launch, but the display can only show "-0" on the display. It would be useful if the altimeter properly displayed the altitude.
Remember, GPS is not used for altitude. Accuracy is only about +/- 100' with GPS. Interesting that the display goes negative now. Wonder if that was updated in the last release.interesting. Which version of the software are you running? Mine merely stayed at zero.
That said, I'd expect RTH to climb to the correct AGL value vs merely climbing your default height above present altitude.
GPS indicates/is aware of the difference between AGL and MSL.
