My spark lost contol and was flying around by its self at speeds reaching up to 55.8mph! The whole flight lasted about 1 crazy min. The spark turned into the possessed Tasmanian devil zig-zagging around in all directions at high speeds. Until it crashed into my neighbor's house, surprisingly only the propellers broke and 1 axle to the motor is bent. After it crashed the spark was upside down still spinning in all directions at a high speed on the ground. My understanding its supposed to turn off when it's upside down... The drone is being sent in for diagnostic testing or a Exorcism to DJI.

Did you clock it with radar, or was that speed what the log listed? Because if it was possessed by demons, it could be reporting the speed incorrectly. Great and scary story though, hope it all works out.

Only the flight log data, Also the motors were extremely hot to the touch. So maybe it did reach those speeds. Luckily it was only accelerating from right to left and not up and away.
