Spark drifting sideways when flying over water

[Jannie]

Hi everyone! I just have a quick question. When I fly my Spark at the beach, it tends to drift off to the left. But when flying over land, it flies straight. Am I flying to low over the beach/ocean? I was thinking maybe it has to do with the reflection of the water and wet beach sand that messes around with sensors??

Try calibrating your IMU, very easy.

How low are you flying above water. If you flying low spark uses down vision sensors for keeping position witch are not accurate on water.

I’m flying about 5 meters above the water. I will test Spark when flying much higher and let you know. Thanks.

Try more then 8m.
