[QUOTE="Chrislaf, post: 108699, member: 3317"] When my Spark went to Atti mode, I was startled but wasn’t too concerned as I have Syma X8G (first drone, no GPS) that I sometimes practice with, but when I got the compass error, that’s when I got worried about loosing control but thankfully I was able to turn around and come back. The only thing I can think of that could have caused this was my landing pad. It’s one of those circular fold up ones with a metal ring. I was using it to keep my backpack dry on the ground while setting up and the Spark was sitting in the open top lid (Droneguard CS400) over top of the metal ring on the landing pad. I then hand launched by double-tapping the battery. Why the Atti Mode and Compass errors occurred well into flight is puzzling. This whole incident reinforces the importance of flying in VLOS. If I had not had the Spark in sight, I could have lost it. Before I heard and saw the error messages on screen, I knew something was wrong because my Spark suddenly began to drift in the direction of the wind. Hopefully, one of the resident experts will see this and can help me figure out what went wrong. Chris [/QUOTE]
