[QUOTE="Northwood Mediaworks, post: 115589, member: 6411"] What surface are you taking off from? Are you checking your sensor state before taking off? My bet is that you are taking off near some metal, it could be inside concrete or underground wiring. [LIST=1] [*]Go into your house, remove the props. Do an IMU calibration on the most level surface you have (I use my dining room table). [*]Now take you your spark out to an open field away from any metal, put your phone in airplane mode, remove any metal from your body, watches, loose change, belt buckle. Be away from any buildings, phone poles or any other metal or concrete structure. Calibrate your compass. Put your props back on. [*]From this same spot, prepare to take off, check your compass and IMU sensor state (always do this before any flight). If its all green, take off. [*]Let us know what happens. [*]Post a few of your flight logs here... [URL="http://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/Upload/"]DJI Flight Log Viewer | Phantom Help[/URL] then share the resulting URLs back here. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
