    regulations (yeah right)

    Likely just a troll but i'll respond anyway... This type of attitude is what causes responsible recreational fliers to have a bad name and as such having additional restrictions added. Don't be irresponsible. Fly smart or don't fly at all.

    Turning off bottom sensors

    Is litchi worth the $22? - I’ve considered it but never pulled the trigger

    Turning off bottom sensors

    I strapped a FliFli drop servo to my spark today - which is surprisingly light. However even though OA is turned off the blocked sensors cause the drone to continuously ascend into the air and it’s a PITA to lower back. I read somewhere someone put electrical tape over the sensors - but when I...

    Sorta wrecked my Spark!

    It’s in sport mode - sport mode locks the gimble and acts like FPV flying.

    Sorta wrecked my Spark!

    Even if you lost visual of it you should still be able to fly it back using the map on the bottom left. It creates a guide line to the quickest path back home as you fly around. I’m newer to the sport but have always manually returned home and landed even when over a half mile away. I don’t...

    Yaw Error / Speed Error

    I was flying my spark last week and out of no where mid-flight it went into ATTI mode and started drifting away. It gave some other errors too but I was too focused on trying to manually fly my drone back to look at the screen. I pulled the log today and it appears I received quite a few 'YAW...

    Compass/IMU calibration

    Regarding compass calibration - Does anyone know if it matters which way you rotate with the spark? Also, when you flip to the second position, does it matter what way the spark is facing or as long as it's on it's side it doesn't matter? I was flying the other day and mid-flight I got a...

    Great app for Spark pilots called UAV Forecast

    Out of curiosity, what do you guys keep your settings at? Mine is set to: Max Wind: 20mph (gusts on) - This seems to put me in the red the most - i'm considering turning off gusts? Wind Altitude: 400 feet Min Temp: 40 degrees F (I hate the cold anyway) Max Temp: 95 degrees F (adjust for wind...

    Battery storage

    I just bought a third battery - I keep the first two in the hard shell case on the sides where the battery cut outs are. Is it okay to store the third battery on the actual spark in the hard case long term? Or should I find an alternate storage space?

    New phone dedicated to spark

    I have a kindle fire that I really want to dedicate to the Spark - just waiting for DJI to get the OTG back working with Android :(

    Drone Insurance

    I would consider state farm insurance - $60 and you don't have to jump through the GJI hoops. It's also covered if it gets lost and you can't recover it. Someone started googledoc listing of agents per state and what they were charged / experience here: State Farm agents who write UAS policies.

    Lighter battery

    Not likely - that's how they get you to buy the next model!
