[QUOTE="Medley, post: 100119, member: 17376"] I’d like to share my story re my (then) new Spark in support of looking for solutions before ranting and giving up: I bought a new Fly More combo on Amazon Canada in March 2019. When it arrived, I was obviously excited to get it set up and flying. Imagine my profound pissed-offness when it kept failing the initial IMU calibration step. Every single time. I couldn’t believe I was going to have to ship it back. So I did some Googling and discovered that I was not alone; I found a guy on YouTube who’d encountered IMU calibration failures after a minor crash. He learned, from using the DJI Assistant software, which axis of the IMU was failing. So on a long shot, he tapped the side (or end, can’t remember) of his Spark briskly a few times, and lo and behold, that axis was now working! So I the same thing; downloaded the Assistant, put it in debug mode, watched the XYZ axis’ as I rotated the little bird in various ways, and sure enough, one of mine was stuck as well. It was a different axis than his, but I figured out which side to tap, based on where he had to tap to fix his issue. I have loved flying my Spark ever since then, and forget about the original hassle I experienced until threads such as this one. [/QUOTE]
