Okay, I think I might have figured it out myself. If RTL@def alt is checked it 
means: RTL at the default altitude set LEFT in the textbox not RTL @ defined 
altitude in the standard parameters tab. This should be made clear.

This IS a major gotchya bug!

The RTL@Def Alt and the Default altitude doesn't remember what they were set at 
either, so if it is un ticked, then next time the planner is started, it is 
ticked again with 0 in the default altitude.

We didn't notice it did that after we had planned a route and wondered why the 
aircraft headed towards the ground in RTL!
