Of course this wouldn't help with water damage to the electronics. I think I saw one design that used some...

Any advice on how to identify my Spark? I put my phone number on the top surface along with the FAA registration number using a sharpie, but it doesn't seem to be well adhered. It has smudged a bit already. I created a label with my Dynamo labeler but it doesn't want to stick. The surface is...

I’m sure there is a performance hit, but I appreciate the protection over the performance. I’m guessing a reduction in flight time (every gram counts) and an acceleration and top speed hit due to the drag. I’m just poking around learning all the new features of the DJI universe, so I don’t...

No worries. It was a skinny branch that snagged the prop guard and then I think it slammed into a fence. Overall, no major damage. I was able to bend the prop guard back into position. Good times.
