[QUOTE="emdblyou, post: 115583, member: 18238"] I’m travelling right now so I’m unable to upload the flight log. But to give you an idea. It’s very random. For example yesterday I started up the Spark, made sure I had 10+ satellites, set home point, and went straight up in the air, no forwards or backwards movement, nothing crazy, no sport mode. About 30 seconds into the flight, the thing lost its mind. Started showing compass error, satellite error or no satellite. I was in a park so no power lines, no trees near by as I was in the parking lot, nothing that I can think of that would cause it to go out of wack. Then it just took off. After pressing RTH button multiple times which didn’t do anything, I started to fight with it with controls. Eventually I got it back down. Throughout the whole thing I saw it couple times go back to normal and couple times show the error messages again. That’s exactly how I lost my first Spark. And since this one is not under warranty anymore I’m super paranoid to fly it. Do you guys calibrate everything/anything before each flight? I’ll try to upload the log as soon as I can. [/QUOTE]
