[QUOTE="Dronason, post: 16525, member: 553"] The compass error can come from a divergence of the direction given by the compass the direction calculated by the flight controller (yaw value). This typically happen mid flight and not at take off. If the compass is totally wrong, then the Spark with not even turn-on. Here we are more in the grey zone between good and bad. If you want to know real reasons you need to retrieve the DAT file (flight record stored in the Spark) as explained [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngEHdAlAh9A&feature=youtu.be']HERE[/URL]. You can upload it to something like dropbox and post a link here. Then it can be checked more in details. There is limited space for these flight records in the Spark, older are deleted to have space for new ones, so retrieval should be done as early as possible. You can also do it yourself from the DAT file and plot flight parameters using the CsvView tools available [URL='https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fdatfile.net%2FCsvView%2Fintro.html&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEuHiNSc872YyvT1R_Gde6gDMgOEQ']HERE[/URL].
