[QUOTE="AgentOrange2017, post: 10144, member: 41"] You originally wrote that the Spark made it to Altitude and then began to drift. This is a clear indication that the IMU needs to be re-calibrated. All DJI drones will normally drift in ATTI Mode but not GPS mode, but if you were in GPS mode and got the drift, the IMU is at fault. Don't believe those that say only to calibrate when called for by the DRONE itself, you are smarter than the drone. Anytime I change location or not, I calibrate the COMPASS every time. The IMU if I take off and get about 20 feet up and it drifts. The IMU and Compass are what tell all the Quads where they are and basically how to fly stable. (DJI Quads). Just follow protocol to make sure you have RTH altitude set and all the other flight parameters set. I use an iPad Mini for flying all of my DJI Quads due to the larger screen. the small phone screen makes it to easy to accidentally hit the wrong command on the screen. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
