[QUOTE="Nemesis Looms, post: 71500, member: 10987"] Life became briefly exciting the other day whilst demonstrating the wonders of drones to a friend. Hovering at about 20 metres over a 1.5 acre lawn, my Spark suddenly climbed to about 35 metres and shot off towards a group of trees about 50 metres away uphill, away from the established home point. I lost all GPS, telemetry and control and had to chase after it to loctate it visually. It was happily hovering inches away from the top of the tallest tree and refused to respond to the controller for about 60 seconds before re-establishing connections. Running through the flight record later on, I found that the warning 'Magnetic filed interference' (sic) appeared briefly before the fly-away. Anyone else seen this? - My question is, which magnetic field was interfered with 20 metres above a lawn in the Highlands of Scotland and how? Was it the drone, the controller, the mobile phone or the planet? Anyway, I got it back, so to celebrate I took it to a nearby paddock and managed to fly it into a stone wall in sport mode - but that's another story. [/QUOTE]
