[QUOTE="wsalopek, post: 83124, member: 1568"] [B]1) [/B]Compass calibration is NOT about changing locations...the only thing that changes is the direction to magnetic north (the magnetic declination), and since Spark knows where it is (via the GPS of course), it automatically compensates for changes in magnetic declination. [B]2) [/B] So we are saying that switching to ATTI mode will stop a flyaway? Of course it will drift with the wind, but it won't be flying in some direction at full throttle / bank angle, correct? [B]3) [/B] Yes it's a good question...when the Spark's internal sensors are showing as unreliable...why wouldn't the Spark revert automatically to ATTI mode, instead of activating a full throttle fly away? [B]4)[/B] Also...on my other drones, I have a kill switch (or arm/disarm), so I can hit it if the drone starts flying away...be nice to have that on the Spark.
