Wow, haven’t been on line all week. Firmware was updated a few weeks ago, no wind, calibration not done that day but done on a flat surface. I had weeks of flying and things seemed normal and good. Was flying back and forth is sport mode and the motors shut off and spark fell from the sky. I...

I had just finished practicing hovering around a light post when I started flying mostly back and forth in sport mode. When you stop it sort of noses up at the end. I suspect I gave a little up throttle causing it to flip, shut down motors and drop like a rock. Seems fine, but wow, I don’t...

Finally got a chance to fly again. the north dip, south rise issue was not seen again. Slowly getting my confidence after crash of previous spark.

Yeah, I don't think I clearly made the point here about how consistent and odd this is. I have about 20 or so hours on the quad that I crashed and I never have seen this before. The picture is I am on my front step in middle of 50 foot lot. I fly into next yard to right (north) stop. drone...

Pretty sure I was not in sport mode. I have seen where if you go full throttle forward in sport mode you loose altitude and have to compensate. This was move forward 30 feet, stop, drop one meter: down. go the other way stop raise one meter: up. Repeated a bunch of times.

and ascends one meter after a straight flight to the south. I was out doing some basic test flights of a new spark, (had a mishap a with old one) and was flying it back and forth about 30 feet mostly in a north south line. Like the title says the when i let go of the stick after the...

Is that true? will pause stop a drone going to RTH in 10 secs? Just destroyed my spark when it RTH'd 20 feet from me into high canopy trees.

I filmed a waterfall in a sort of box canyon this weekend and got exactly the same thing. I was wondering if I was seeing too few sats while I was in the box and the visibility got better when I was out of it. curious.
