[QUOTE="Northwood Mediaworks, post: 87822, member: 6411"] Okay so my turn for some advice. I calibrated once before flight #1 with my Spark, it was on June 1, 2018. Since then, all has been well except for one or two glitches, the second last one started me wondering. Yesterday, I decided to walk out into the middle of my front field, which is pretty large, and no trees anywhere near, so i could, for the first time, check out a quickshot mode, specifically the Helix. So it seemed to go well, there ws not much wind and the flight behaviour was as expected. Once the quickshot was complete however, the drone suddenly went into ATTI mode and I got a "poor GPS" warning. I immediately flew the Spark back to my location and hand landed. So, next chance I have (I was out of time and battery by then) I am going to do the calibration, and now for the question after this long lead in (sorry)... As I have heard conflicting stories... I use a TilePro velcro-ed to the bottom of my battery on every flight. I am now assuming, from what I have been reading, that I should actually calibrate with it attached. What say you experts?
