[QUOTE="dropro, post: 3399, member: 271"] First, the flight was not erratic. It was unexpected and uninitiated but took a nice curve path. I had calibrated the spark before the first incident in Berlin. So it was calibrated just before the first flyaway. In both cases it was open space without any metal or magnets in the area and it was not next to a subwoofer. compass calibration is not (should not) be voodoo magic. If the compass has a bad calibration, then you will get notice of it as you turn it on. This is being checked before every flight. But that was not my case. On the other hand, compass calibration can be affected by magnetic fields while in flight. Again, if you look at the path of my flight - that was not the case- flying in open place with just some trees. As a matter of fact, very similar trajectory in both flights. Finally, in both cases it also lost altitude while curving. That can not be caused by compass issues - I think... There is much more going on here... unfortunately.... [/QUOTE]
