Takeoff and return

+TKOF puts a takeoff at home at the start of the plan. Its altitude is the plan altitude, but not more than 40 m. With a hand launch, the takeoff waits for the throw. +RTL adds a return to launch at the end of the plan. Then the plane comes back to the point where you armed it.

+TKOF puts a takeoff first

If the takeoff is not planned, press +TKOF. A new marker appears at the end of the dashed plan, and the count on UPLOAD goes up by 1. The first item of the plan is a takeoff at home.
