[QUOTE="msinger, post: 4355, member: 18"] Your stored compass calibration was probably fine then. Both flying with a bad compass calibration and/or taking off near a source of magnetic metal are typically what causes a flight path like this. While that's the likely case, that doesn't mean it would be impossible for this to be caused by an undocumented Spark firmware defect or faulty hardware. If you're sure there was no magnetic metal at the takeoff location or on your person, then you should reach out to DJI Support to see if they can help you find the cause. I've never seen a video of a Spark flying with three props. All other DJI drones drop like a rock when a prop flies off. The yaw data in your flight log shows a steady yaw value from the time the compass error appeared until the Spark crashed. If the Spark was able to fly with three props and that had actually occurred, it would have most likely been spinning in circles as it attempted to hover -- and the flight path probably wouldn't have been so smooth.
