[QUOTE="sgrinavi, post: 83935, member: 16487"] Hey all, So I've had my spark out a few times and have noticed some glitches that seem odd (to me). I've had my M2z for a little while and a P2v+ before that, so I'm not a complete noob, but almost. - The indicated altitude is not realistic, I know it switches from the optical sensors to the barometer at 25 feet, or so, but up to that point there is no way that the optical sensors are accurate - Even the barometric readings are funky - I've had it go from 100 feet to zero and back again. One time I was coming down from about 200 feet and noticed that it was basically falling out of the sky. Looked at the indicated altitude and it was zero, I attempted to stop it, but when I centered the stick it kept falling, the only thing that saved it was that it fell through a tree and slowed it down enough, and flipped it so it landed on its back. Didn't get a scratch - tough little guy. - When you push the left stick full up it goes up pretty fast, when you release the stick it keeps going up for longer than physics would allow, like 8 or 10 feet certainly further than my M2z goes up when you center the stick (that one seems like it stops, but maybe it goes up a little bit) I reinstalled the firmware which seems to have helped on the zero indications at altitude, but the optical readings are still wonky. Do you think I have a problem child or is this normal behavior? Thanks - [/QUOTE]
