[QUOTE="Dronason, post: 8498, member: 553"] Usually the story is (own experience as noob): [LIST] [*]Poor location with rebar in the ground [*]App says compass error, please calibrate, so let's do it :rolleyes: [*]Calibration is done at the worst possible place [*]App says all fine [*]Take off and the mess starts as soon the influence of rebar is reduced [/LIST] The right way is: [LIST] [*]Poor location with rebar in the ground [*]App says compass error, please calibrate [*]Forget flying now at that place [*]Found and open area for compass calibration and do it [*]When at a place with rebar in ground, the app says compass error, please calibrate [*]DO NOT calibrate but put the Spark on a box (plastic) so it is a few feet up the ground [*]App says all fine [*]Take off and fly [*]For landing, either palm landing or on the box [/LIST] Practice of ATTI mode is very important and give a lot of confidence, use a cheap drone for that (40$). It can be done indoor during winter or rainy saison. That is what worked for me since Phantom 3, the quality of the compass calibration is the most important. As soon the Spark is in the air with some altitude, any influence is gone. [/QUOTE]
