[QUOTE="Texas Gonzo, post: 66559, member: 3142"] Well, i guess my Spark issues are all moot now... it decided to become a statistic yesterday and made a break for the homeland. Yup, add me to the "fly away club" [emoji22]. On my 3rd flight for the day, it took off normally, no weirdness at all. After it got to ~30ft, i let off the sticks to change a couple of exposure settings, and it kept ascending! I'm pulling the left stick full back, and it's basically ignoring the input. Up, up, up "*atti mode*", up, up and away.... I did try a fast reboot on the controller, but never managed to re-establish a connection. Last I saw, it was heading west toward a lake about 4 miles away. I doubt there's much chance I'll see it again, but I'd sure love to see it plugged into dji's "diagnostic port" sideways (yeah, that one). What really stinks is I don't even have a flight log for this event since the app glitched just after reporting atti mode. Atleast I still have my Phantom 3S... and it behaves itself most of the time. I hope no one else has this happen, but I wouldn't put money on it. DJI won't see another dollar from me, though I will miss my Spark a great deal. Happy, safe flying all!!! [/QUOTE]
