[QUOTE="msinger, post: 20319, member: 18"] It sounds like you took off near a magnetic metal object. If you'd like someone to confirm, then upload your DAT flight log to dropbox.com and post a link back here. It'll contain additional details that'll explain what happened. If needed, you can find instructions for retrieving the DAT file [U][B][URL='https://datfile.net/DatCon/retrieveV3.html']here[/URL][/B][/U]. The DJI GO app does not always display a warning when a magnetic metal object is near the compass. Before taking off, take a look at the red aircraft symbol on the aircraft attitude indicator [I](see the image below)[/I] at the bottom, left corner of DJI GO. If the aircraft is not pointing in the correct direction or is slowly spinning on the indicator, that is an indication that something is negatively affecting the compass. Move the Spark to a different location and recheck the aircraft attitude indicator. [ATTACH=full]2015[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
