I just had my first flyaway. Thanks to the advice given on this forum I was able to recover it.
The only thing that had changed was my Nexus 7 decided it needed to update Android - which it did. I launched from my balcony using 4.1.15 (but no OTG) like I have done many times before. I set the Spark down on some grass in the open and clear of anything. Shut down, started up with new home point set and took off. After about 5 mins I got a message saying link to AC was lost. It went up some then started returning to the home point a steady pace. I was quite interested because it was the first time I had needed a RTH.
However it went past the home point and continued its steady way into the distance not responding to any stick controls. I switched to sport mode, as has been suggested on the forum, and was able to regain control. I have always been about nervous, having read other peoples problems, but this little episode has actualy given me increased confidence in using my Spark.
