[QUOTE="Punkinv, post: 75557, member: 14966"] This is uncanny, but the exact same thing just happened to me. Updated the firmware, hovered for a bit, then the Spark had a mind of its own. 12 Sats at takeoff, then fluctuated between 10, 11, and 12. Had 14 when it flew away. The Spark hit a nearby tree and crashed. I bought the Spark second-hand and bought new props, 2 new batteries, and a new controller, in anticipation for a trip to Costa Rica next week. I have a Mavic Pro but I figured if anything went wrong, I'd rather it did with the Spark. Well, it went wrong alright, but at least nobody was hurt. Broken props and a cracked frame out of the deal. Going to put this thing its box and go back to Mavic, which I have never had trouble with. Look for this for sale on eBay! Attached is the flight record if this helps anyone. [/QUOTE]
