[QUOTE="julian46, post: 14813, member: 2613"] I think you can actually just launch in AutoPilot w/o running GO at all and start flying - you should not have them both running (one in foreground and one sleeping in background) / (as you've likely seen mentioned elsewhere) - what I like to do is start GO on the first battery and fly around for a few mins making sure all is good including home point then land - force close it (IOS) and start and fly with AutoPilot - a few times AP has lost communication with the Spark and I've had to force close it and start go (with the Spark in the Air) (likely best to have the Spark on the ground when switching from one app to another while it is still powered on - but if you have to force close AP and launch GO to recover don't panic - the Spark will sit there and hover nicely) - also if you move the flight mode button to SPORT its supposed to stop the current mission and return control to the sticks (in computer flight modes) / so for normal AutoPilot operation just leave the flight mode switch in P (left position) and use SPORT to stop the current mission if you need to abort - otherwise you can do this on the screen - at the prompt on the bottom [/QUOTE]
