So I just got back from a flight in my area and upon testing the distance of the spark, I get a Poor GPS error on the screen and an IMU Header error. The drone drops to ATTI mode and drifted for a second before It reconnected to GPS mode and I managed to fly it back. I have the flight data shared here with the following link:

Is this a cause for concern? Maybe the water threw off the compass a bit? I believe i had full satellite bars and then they dropped to zero suddenly. I'm going to do a test flight in a field away from my area, and see if I see the same results.

Thanks,

No, BUT you fly on Sport mode.... When aggrassive turning on sport can caused yaw errors

Hi, sorry for the inconvenience. It is a good idea to try flying your drone to a different location. Normally,  aircraft will revert to ATTI mode when GPS signal is weak, or when the compass experiences interference where Vision System is unavailable. Please make sure that there are no metals or magnets near your drone, including watch or any accessories that have metal on it to avoid interference. Let us know if the problem is still the same in a different location.

Yeah I've since been less aggressive on the sticks when in sport mode, as I mainly use it for speed. There was no metal in the area to cause interference as far as i'm aware, but i'll report back today with a different location.

Success! I recalibrated everything again and burned through two batteries with no issues. Flew 1000m away before I stared to get uncomfortable. Feels rock solid right now... I did lower the maximum speed slider in the controller to maybe curb some yaw issues, and sport mode is still plenty fast.
