I am trying to use my Spark for the first time and keep getting a critical error.  No matter what I do, the front status lights are always solid red.  With the back lights flashing yellow fast.   Any advice would be much appreciated

So you activated it?  Performed firmware update? Using remote control or phone/tablet?

Solid red with yellow flashing could be compas calibration, I know it's saying critical error it's just with yellow flashing fast it might be IMU or compass.

You could try calibration of both or try a factory reset, but I wouldn't fly until it's sorted.

Thanks very much for your suggestions.  After re-activating and calibrating, I was able to sort the problem. The following video is an outstanding guide for setting up a Spark for the first time.

The front lights always stay solid red. Now they do go out once you hit the record buttton. But it's like that for a good reason so that you always know the front end of the drone and you don't confuse what the rear status lights are telling you, especially when they are blinking red. My phantom 3 gives an option to manually turn them off.
