I flew with my spark this afternoon around my house in a town with a strong gps signal. Suddenly a weak rc signal appeared on the screen and the drone wanted to land itself where it was. But it was FURTHER THAN 20M AWAY FROM THE HOME POINT. I gained back the controls and cancelled the landing. I could bring the aircraft back but that is an incorrect behaviour. What can be the reason?

Maybe some versions of Spark have implemented "Return to Hong Kong" instead of "Return to home" functionality? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can you explain what happened?
Is there any explanation for that or should I ask my seller about it?

Maybe Spark lost GPS reception too so it didn't know where it is and if it was more or less than 20m from home point?!?! I would definitely ask a seller what happened as this one is puzzling.

This rather looks as if homepoint was not properly recorded at take off or the battery was at critical level. If you upload your flightrecord (you'll find it in a DJI subdirectory on your mobile device) to this site http://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/Upload/ and share the link with us, we might be able to tell you more.

Sir, in your case, please export the flight data and the black box for analysis. You can upload it to dropbox and post the link here. Thanks for your support.

You should always check if the homepoint is set proper before flying around. Sometimes gps needs a moment to be accurate.
