[QUOTE="SPark_South_Oz, post: 124622, member: 17032"] I'm the same with my 5yo Spark, rock solid. Just for some general info on this thread . . . Generally the biggest flyaway of DJI drones is simply slight magnetic interference at start up. The IMU and compass can give different compass readings for a short time . . . very often 180 degrees . . . the home point red arrow must be same as the orientation as the drone is on the ground. If not, move somewhere else and try start up again. When you take off this causes 'corrections' the flight controller sees as needed, drones just keep flying away faster often up to full speed. They can correct themselves in a short time, but most often the drone will either lose signal, or crash etc in the meantime. Spark batteries are now back in the DJI store (at least here in the DJI Australia store) . . . [URL="https://m.dji.com/au/product/spark-intelligent-flight-battery"]Spark Intelligent Flight Battery - DJI Mobile Online Store (United States)[/URL] Seems DJI have brought back ALL older model batteries into production, or they're selling all old backup spares stock ? Drones like the M1P / MPP, and Air, also have batteries back in the store. The Spark battery issue was solved with larger prongs, photo below show 2 of mine, early one (out of 3 flymores and a couple of other later batteries purchased). All but the one of my 5 batteries has the smaller prongs . . . [ATTACH]14195[/ATTACH] < thumbnail, click to enlarge [/QUOTE]
