Cannot fly a strait line.

[charliespark]

I do not seem able to fly a strait line even in no wind conditions. It yaws to the right. Is this an RC calibration problem or something else?

Sounds like a control issue it’s easy to move the sticks a little without realizing it especially in sport mode

straight flight was my constant struggle with Spark. it can be caused by few things:

• uncalibrated Compass might be throwing it from straight line - calibrate on some wide open space without any metal around (even underground)
• uncalibrated IMU can cause Spark to hover and fly unleveled and turning sideways (most noticeable in higher speeds)
• bent or unbalanced propellers - try to swap them (FR to RL and FL to RR) or replace them completely.
• uncalibrated remote controller - you can check this on calibration screen in DJI app. if the diagram shows zero value on all four sides of both joysticks, it should be fine. if not, calibrate it.

Do you mean it flies straight but YAWed about 10°

or maybe controls needs calibration

Thanks everyone. Very helpful will try calibrating the remote.
