I am having a couple of quirky problems that I am hoping someone has some solutions to as they are causing me to be extra cautious when flying my Spark.
First, aircraft orientation is not accurate in compass or map. My aircraft orientation is always inaccurate in both GO4 and in Litchi and in the radar and map view. Sometimes it is exactly opposite the orientation but most of the time it is off by about 45º or more. It is occasionally accurate but rarely. I usually fly in Litchi and know about the toggle for facing north or relative to controller. I have calibrated the compass numerous times but it seems to have no effect. I have a P3S and have flown it from the same locations as my Spark and the aircraft orientation is always accurate. This problem worries me because if my Spark ever goes into RTH I am not sure whether it will come back to the home point accurately.
Second, on startup a few times my Spark has given me a no image transmission error. Screen is dark but I do have telemetry. This has always happened when I am readying for takeoff. I usually have to power down the controller, app and Spark completely before it will come back up with image transmission. It has happened in both GO4 and Litchi.
In both cases above the Spark appears to be handling properly in the air and all the controls are responding.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.
