Here are some assumptions
1) It is out of its mind. Don't laugh. I mean the flight control program is performing some procedure not as designed. I do believe that the "fly away" is not in the specification of flight controller. When lost signal it should return home or landing as setting. Lost GPS reception it goes ATTI and wait for stick command not flying away. It may drift a bli but still there. Compass error does not initiate a fly away if it is not going somewhere, RTH for example. Anyway by the system design the RTH or any on-going mission should be aborted when compass error. So the only explaination is it is out of its control path.
2) RC or Mobile device send command(s) causing Spark to fly away. I saw this once on Youtube. A man directly connect mobile device directly to Spark, command Spark to Active track then put the mobile into his pocket then Spark starts flying away. Putting mobile into pocket might caused virtual joy stick to work unpredictable. Incompatible mobile runnung Dji Go 4 may send serirs of unpredictable commands.
3) RC malfunction
4) Bug in specific function and engaged under certain condition causing a flyaway. Someone report a flyaway when perform rocket.
