Hi Everyone......I have had my Spark for a while, and I live in Costa Rica.... My question, which I have not seen covered is as follows:
Where I live (My house) has a large amount of metal in it, and from my deck, or in front of my house, my Spark will not acquire satellites, and will often prompt me to calibrate the compass, which is no issue for it when away from the house..... Once away from the house, it is fine. What I want to know is if I launch from these areas, will it acquire the satellites, normalize the compass, and be safe to fly once it is away from the house, and what problems are possible when I bring it home?
Yes, I have plenty of non-problematic places to fly, but I want to launch from here and not lose my Spark.
I'm chicken to try it without picking the brain of someone who maybe has had a similar situation...LOL
Thanks for any advice, guys, and Happy Flying!
