Set Home Position on First Arm Only

So one day I’m flying my plane, miles out, and went to change flight modes and, instead, moved my ARMing switch and disarmed in flight. No biggy, I just lowered the throttle, moved it back to ARM and throttle was working again. One problem though. My distance and direction home was now at the place where I just rearmed…not my actual starting point. I was familiar with the area I was flying so was able to return home, but if I had failsafed my plane would go to the wrong home position. I do have a Rally Point set up within LOS of my starting location, but if the plane is closer to ‘home’ it will go there, not to where I am.

Is there an ability to have Arduplane set the home position at the first arm location vs where ever it was last armed? I think this would be a nice selectable function (Set Home at first arm location: enable/disable.

Thoughts?

FWIW, I set up a logic mix in my Tx so the disarm switch will not engage if my throttle enable switch is enabled AND throttle position is above -99%. Now I would get a repeating warning ‘Arm switch moved to disarm position’ if I accidently move the switch to the disarm position while in flight.
