[QUOTE="Ojay777, post: 76489, member: 15442"] Had EXACTLY the same issue ! See attached screenshots - as you can see I have been flying a long time, and am an extremely experienced pilot. Fully charged battery on board, and as you can see flew off a wharf turned on camera and slowly came back in .. less than 30m from where I was standing my Spark started to do erratic 360 degree turn and then went into landing function - I had no control over the unit yet had perfect GPS / RTH and had just calibrated the compass and IMU after last flight. I was roughly 3m off the surface of the water when it did this. Absolutely no warnings, had strong signal 5ghz and I have owned this Spark for 2 odd years - never had a problem with it and I have a case for it and the control and keep it in immaculate condition. This 43 year old is a heart broken man. Went for a swim to attempt to locate it but the sharks are out in season this summer in Australia and near this bridge it just isn’t wise at dusk .. not very happy! Beware people. Something not right with latest updates and firmware I believe. [/QUOTE]
