Its easy Merlin the spark is addictive in a strange kind of way I cannot let go either!!! over 100 flights of dependable excellence! that is why we are attached!!!

Let be be clear ! I was not trying to insult you in any way nor was I talking about your safety while riding motorcycles and all the other daring things you do , I was just pointing out that safety first when operating a drone is a good practice drones and drone operators are being chastised for...

Sounds to me like it is unsafe to fly anywhere there are people ! If it freezes up again it could possibly land on people or property such as cars etc. it should be grounded until a new motor is installed!

How often do spark motors freeze up?

Not motor overload warning ! I knew by the sound when landing that something was wrong and I found the wing guard to be damaged and the prop tip chopped up ! The wing guard must have somehow moved.

Thanks for the response ! The message stayed up for about 5 seconds I was fortunate to see it ! Otherwise it might have went down! New Prop! New Drone!

Yesterday I was flying at about 300 feet when I saw on my iOS a warning that I had a motor problem! I immediately returned to home and discovered that a propeller was in contact with a wing guard chipping the end of the prop off . I removed the guard and every thing is fine however why does this...

Thanks! You and I both.

Probably going to go to cable have one but was not having issues with rc

i was using I phone I have recalibrated the IMU and the compass i am using the r control the Bluetooth was on and the airplane mode was off. I believe you helped me out I put it in airplane mode turned off Bluetooth and the disconnect has ceased thank you so much for your reminders

I had a very hard landing yesterday so hard it kicked off the battery ! However it started up and flys perfect except I now get disconnect message every two or three minutes what might be the problem? Appreciate any advice ...

And too think my Spark was old after 120 flights! Go figure!

Good thing you purchased refresh or you would be out 400 American! Hopefully the new one is problem free I experienced the same problems as you thankfully when the new one arrived it was operating perfectly. Good luck

Great idea! Doing it myself

It sounds to me like you have an internal problem . This happened to me and DJI gave me a new one fortunately I was under warranty! Good Luck!
