[QUOTE="bobnalyd, post: 14901, member: 2876"] Hi Guys, I'm new to the forum. I have had the spark for a week now and have got some awesome footage here in New Zealand. On my last flight my spark kept switching from OPTI to GPS mode. I was able to take off in OPTI mode with 9 to 10 satellites showing so didn't worry to much as i was not planning to fly too far. A minute into the flight it switched to ATTI mode and started racing away from me (really fast) i tried to increase altitude and change direction but had no control of the craft, it eventually crash into a hill in the distance. Luckily i was flying in quite a remote area in New Zealand with no people around. I was able to locate and retrieve the spark after climbing the hill to find it with one broken prop and missing 2 LED covers. Has this happened to any one else? I'm not sure who to contact and how. Does dji have support in New Zealand? From reading the other posts here i was able to get the .DAT file, but i cant open it. Let me know what you guys think. [/QUOTE]
