I think a lot of the toy drones are ATTI mode at most. A lot of them are only RATE mode. Proof that one has and can fly the $50 ready to fly Blade Inductrix quadcopter should be part of the newbie requirement before they are rated to fly Sparks.
The Blade inductrix comes with its own controller and only has ATTI mode (Blade calls it Safe mode) as its flight mode. It can also be flown in the house. No GPS and no compass so it is just like an ATTI mode Spark. It isn't as hard to fly as the cheap unstabilized drones.
Sorry but the SPARK in ALTITUDE mode is one thing but losing control, compass, drifting and yawl errors at the same time flying itself away at high speedss this is very bad, https://phantompilots.com/thread ... -gps-signal.123179/ <--- this thread sheds some light on the subject but my data shows 14-18 sats the whole time while indicated none gps or p-GPS, look at it yourselves. http://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/RXJXORRIM9CNNGB986Z1/
I can fly ATTI, i used hubsan 501s , we have a phantom 1, now a p4p, and walkera drones, study the flight record, all the red was out of my control, it dashe very fast out of site, there is not way a human bieng can keep one eye on the remote and another on the drone especially this small and at the speeds it inicated to of dashed away from uts last position on the map, i ha no iea where it went off too until i checke the flight data at home with a computer.
Bet seriously, this is a DJI product, easy out of the box with yor smart phone as a interface, how in the world is anyone supposed to fly in atti mode when the product gets compass error 3 minutes and 150m into a routine flight? telling people they should be able to fly altitude mode does not help discuss what caused the errors, if you someone experienced as can be does not know then they dont, so why claim the pilot does when incidents are un expected, sudden and even abnornal.
and also to mention, i watched the video of me flying this drone just after DJI sent it and it went into atti mode during one take off while 5m from the ground and away, the remote made this weird high pitch whistle sound, now i thought it was the props making the noise, i cant put the video online because im rather shy but will try to extract the audio later,
anyway, as i tried to land it i could only go forward and backward but not left and right so i panicked as it was drifting near a wall, so i actuality went over to it and grab it to shut it down, we actually captured all this on video., i just looked at the logs there where also yawl errors as well.
But it never did this again and i flew it at least 7 more battery loads before this incident.
