[QUOTE="ramar, post: 94987, member: 18166"] Hello, I've been a PhantomPilots member for a couple of years but this is my first post on SparkPilots. I'm trying to decide what to do about my Spark. I bought it used last Fall and it worked fine until recently. Now it's plagued with the problems I've been reading about here and on other forums. It started out with just a few compass errors, switching into Atti mode, and brief loss of control. Yesterday evening my son (he's the better pilot) and I took it for a flight to try some troubleshooting and it went crazy. It flew off by itself and wouldn't respond to my son's attempts to regain control. I thought it was gone but it came back and seemed to be responding to controls. My son started to bring it in for a landing and then it suddenly took off again. . . right into a tree. The branches slowed the fall and it appears to be undamaged. Now what? We're nervous about trying to fly it again. It's not under warranty so I'm guessing DJI isn't the answer. There's a DJI repair shop about 30 minutes from me. Is it worth having them take a look? Anything I can do myself? [/QUOTE]
