[QUOTE="Spark 317, post: 44040, member: 894"] I only experienced Atti mode once and it was because I was impatient and didn't wait for the Home Point. I launched at 3 feet, drifted with the wind for about 20 feet and landed it. :eek: I have a cheaper drone with no GPS that is good to practice with vs. wrapping aluminium foil on the back of the Spark to simulate Atti (so I've read). If you do experience Atti-mode during flight, don't panic, you'll need to know the orientation quickly so you can counter act the wind and control it. The best way is to look at the radar screen and look at the telemetry rather than looking at the Spark since it's so small. If the numbers get larger, it's going away from you. This is why it's good to have a spotter so you can concentrate on the flight screen. Before each flight I check these two Apps available in the Stores. [ATTACH=full]4642[/ATTACH] Airmap shows the airspace around you and UAV forecast is a one stop shop for flight conditions in the area. Make sure you have a good GPS count and Home Point before launch. When you fly, insure the Spark can "see" the sky for constant GPS coverage. Flying under bridges, tree canopies in the woods, through tunnels, deep canyons and tall buildings may momentarily break the signal and switch to Atti-mode. Fly Safe.:) [/QUOTE]
