[QUOTE="Julian534, post: 51521, member: 10437"] Hey all, I’m new to the spark and loving it so far. Something odd happened last night when I was flying. During my first flight I was a couple thousand feet out and initiated RTH. The spark immediately stated to ascend, surpassing my elevation limit of 300. It kept going rather quickly until I stopped it at roughly 452 feet since that’s obviously past the FAA limit. I brought it back down under 400 and returned it home manually. I checked what I had the RTH altitude set at and it was 130 I believe, certainly nothing above 400. I then did a second flight this time flying close by and using sport mode to have fun. At the end I decided to fly it out a 100 or so feet and try RTH again. Same thing it immediately climbed past my RTH altitude limit into the 300’s before I stopped it and brought it back. Attached is a screenshot of what came up when RTH was activated. It says the minimum elevation for RTH was set at 492feet it I would have never set it that high. I did some research and it appears this was a bug with the phantom that may have since been resolved. Any other spark owners experience this? Know all firmware and app versions are up to date.
