[QUOTE="Bjjk14, post: 29831, member: 6643"] So the last 2 times I flew my spark I've had some issues that I cannot quite figure out. The first one was when I started the spark and simply flew it straight up to about 160 feet. The drone then initiated an autoland which I could not cancel I could only control the direction. I noticed as it was coming down it looked pretty unstable and it practically slammed into the ground. There were no messages to warn me of anything and nothing that looked out of the ordinary. After this I flew it low and slow and had no issues. Today was the first time I flew it since the incident so I launched it and let it hover about 10 feet up while I tweeked some camera settings and the spark lost connection to the remote while I was right next to it. Again it came back down hard and slammed onto a rock, luckily there was no damage but the propeller chopped up some tall grass. The spark sat on the ground chopping up grass for a solid 20 seconds before it automatically shut the motors off. Once again I flew it low and slow after the incident and had no problems. The area I was in both times was over 5 miles away from anything and I was in a very large open field with literally nothing around. Any ideas or suggestions as to where to go from here? [/QUOTE]
