I'm not sure what the problem is, but just tried to fly my spark and completely lost confidence in it.
Jumping bean or what is described here or here seems very similar to what just happened to me.
I was flying using Litchi and almost lost it when it came back down right on the edge of my roof (my main launchpad) then skidded around a bit. Tried again in the patio, with litchi, with dji app, and with no app, just controller, and I couldn't draw any correlation. Sometimes ok, sometimes skidding or bouncing around. Sometimes starting motors, but wouldn't take off. Tried 2 different batteries too. Did a compass calibration, twice. Got an error a couple of times, but perhaps was doing it wrong (I always get messed up by the incorrect diagram on the dji app for nose down). I'm wondering if I messed up the compass when I took it apart last week to repair a cracked gimbal motor mount and didn't realize that it was a bad idea to use a magnetized screw driver.
But, I've flown on 2 occasions since the crash and repair with no issues. I also calibrated the IMU and compass after that repair. I think there was a firmware update somewhere in there - could that be it? Anyone else had issues?
Sorry for the rambling post - I really love flying my Spark, and it's hard to launch waypoint missions with any confidence when it starts acting erratically... :-(
