Mr. Dave you are just a youngster. My kids gave me my first drone, DJI Spark, for my 84th birthday and I have flown it regularly ever since. Happy flights ... Granny

Hey guys ... My kids gave me my first drone for my 84th birthday in January and I have been flying it in Southern Oregon and central California since then. It appears I am the oldest beginning drone flyer as well as the oldest Granny.

Hello all of you youngsters ... I got my Spark for my 84th birthday from my kids. ...Granny

I have found that connection sequence is important for my DJI Spark. There could be other orders but this has worked every time for me. 1. Drone on 2. RC ON wait for green light (about 15 seconds) 3. Antennas up at 45° angle 4. iPad on and in airplane mode...

Any spark pilots out there wanting to get together in the Medford, Oregon area? Granny

LOL

Sorry but at 84 I have 8 years on you. You have been flying longer, however. I just started last month with my "lava red" Spark.

Indeed ... a wonderful hobby and great kids (adults in their 50's now)

I am certainly still in beginners mode and plan to be there a while.

thanks friends for the encouragement. I am working on making Sparky fly in a circle ... I can do squares and rectangles but am having trouble rounding the corners using first person.

I am a Granny who got my Spark for my 84th birthday from my kids. You have a long way to go to be the oldest Spark pilot. I have been lucky with nice weather on the central Calif coast so am learning. I am finding the learning curve rather steep however.
