[QUOTE="msinger, post: 10733, member: 18"] I like to calibrate the IMU after unboxing a new Spark. However, the majority of Spark owners are probably not calibrating the IMU before flying for the first time. If you choose to go that route and your Spark is able to hold a steady hover and does not report a large error in the altitude, then you don't need to calibrate it. After that point, you should only have to calibrate it again if you crash, if you drop your Spark, or it takes a large hit elsewhere [I](e.g. shipping it in the mail)[/I]. The Spark should be sitting on a level surface that is not disturbed while the calibration is running. A place like that is usually easiest to find indoors. The compass does not need to be calibrated often. Check out [U][B][URL='http://sparkpilots.zone/threads/compass-calibration-guide.69']this post[/URL][/B][/U] for the best practices. This rarely needs to be done. If the sticks are not matching your movements, then it would be a good idea to calibrate the remote controller. [/QUOTE]
