[QUOTE="jleone15022, post: 13609, member: 1123"] Came up with another tip today after my first "holy s@$t" moment with the Spark. Was about 200 feet up and about 300 feet out when it suddenly went into ATTI mode. No GPS. The wind was carrying it away. Fortunately for me, this wasn't my first rodeo with drones. I've flown a ton of different types some with and some without GPS or altitude hold. I immediately took control of the situation and brought it down manually and carefully. After a reboot and re-calibration of the compass, "boom." Back to the skies. It was a scary thing to hear the device tell me this and most people would probably crap their pants and panic. That leads to crashes. I kept my cool and just eased it down to the ground. I think I booted up the Spark a little too close to my car and that's what caused the problem. When I re-booted and took off from my usual spot after a re-calibration, all was well so.... Lesson learned.
