[QUOTE="Dodge DeBoulet, post: 79711, member: 14925"] I ran into the same issue last week; compass error and ATTI mode mid-flight. Not sure what sort of magnetic interference it can experience 100ft in the air over mostly acres and acres of farmland ... it was quite gusty that day; the IMU got a good workout. After an initial panic attack (the Spark was out of LOS, on the other side of a line of trees), I was able to reorient it so I could see some familiar landmarks and I wrestled it home. I calibrated the compass and have since flown it a couple of times without issue. [/QUOTE]
