[QUOTE="Locutus40, post: 75497, member: 13216"] useually 98% are user error.. first when setting up to take off.. power on your remote first power on drone open app click go fly check status of the imu if its green its good calibrate the compass let the drone sit where its at for atleast 30 seconds.. check to make sure the app says home point recorded or a h appears if it does not then go into the 3 dots and set the home point manually then take off let it hover for 30 seconds this is to capture a picture with the downward camera of the landscape for precise landings.. then fly as normal.. and if you fly far out.. always look at your batt voltage and time.. only go 50% of the batt out.. then youll have plenty to come home with dont let the app return to home your ensuring that it might fault that way.. i always rth myself via the app or the transmitter button and make sure your hight for return to home is high enough far past trees etc.... follow these rules and youll most likely have flawless flights then youll know if its a gps error etc also make sure you have 10 to 12 sats... and dont fly around alot of routers or other fliers... dji fracked up with the transmitter systems on these sparks they should of used spread spectrum aka freq hopping but no they land on active wifi channels alot of times.. and the 5.8 channels are horrible too.. this is why i prefer to build my own quads... i can use my dx8 with the current firmware or a fsss hopping transmitter.. then i know its secure.. but they cheaped out and did the whole non fsss and upped the power thats why the transmitter gets hot its like 1 watt and the drone gets hot just idleing its like 1 watt too... aka they compinsated with high power.. the best drones are the phantom series they have a custom set.. although i think this is a lie because the fcc limits freq anyway [/QUOTE]
