[QUOTE="Sean_OL, post: 115517, member: 20497"] I have a Spark that worked great the first year I got it (2017-2018) that I haven’t really used since. I tried once last year and it was erratic on takeoff, so I left it until I had time to come back to it. Today I turned it on, it took hovered for a second and began losing altitude. I tried correcting and for a moment it looks like it had flown up and stabilized. But then it dropped landed in a flower bed and lost broke a propeller. I’m going to replace the propellers tomorrow but am wondering what I should be looking to check. I did the compass calibration and it said GPS was good to go. I did take off from the app, and had it in beginner mode since it had seemed erratic when I last used it. Attaching an image from the app showing my status in case I missed anything. Thanks in advance for any tips. [/QUOTE]
