[QUOTE="deeve, post: 26076, member: 5869"] Hello, I have only flown my Spark a few times. Today it was raining, but I wanted to show a friend how stable it was so I flew it inside. I used the RC sticks to start it up. As soon as it took off the drone started moving forward. Even though the left stick was centered, it kept moving almost hitting a wall, even though collision avoidance was on. If I added backward stick it moved back and would not stop again. I spazzed out and tried to turn it off with the control sticks like you would if it was already landed. The drone ended up crashing into the wall and turning itself off...damaging the blades and giving me a gimbal overload warning. Not knowing why it happened I removed the blades and saw that one of the locking lugs was broken on one pair. Not sure if that was the crash or somehow from before. Two questions..Any thoughts on what caused the Spark to move forward and backward, but not stop? Also, suppose I have a drone that goes crazy like that, what should I do? My setup is a Spark with current firmware and full charged battery and RC. iPhone 7 plus connected via wifi inside my house. I recalibrated the IMU and compass along with replacing all the blades and it seems fine now but I want to know why it happened. I tried to download the data from Assistant 2 on my Macbook but even though I could get it to connect and see the firmware settings, nothing would download. I do not appear to be alone in this problem though and will try some more things on that. [/QUOTE]
