Okay, I'll try to be as brief as possible. (sorry if I wrote something wrong, I'm Brazilian).
Today I went flying my Spark on the beach, and it started acting strange.
I took off the Spark, and when it hit around an altitude of 30 meters and a distance of 50 meters, the app said I had reached the maximum flight altitude and distance, but the maximum altitude in the app settings is 120m, and I did not set a distance limit. (As far as I know, I was not flying in a restricted area.) When I tried to shoot a panorama, the app said that that panorama could not be taken. I restarted the aircraft, but it still did not shoot the pano.
When it took off, the Spark lost height very fast, as if the motors were turned off and on quickly. It did this only 3 times and then it stabilized in the air.
I found Spark's behavior very strange, but I continued to fly. Shortly after, Spark started to land suddenly.
The RC started beeping, and the app said it was landing, without my command. I couldn't control the Spark when it was landing, and if continued the landing, either it would land in the water, or crash into the rocks. Then I was able to stop landing and return it to me, and land safely.
But why did all this happened? The app didn't warn any kind of interference or something like this. Should a calibration solve this?
