I would personally recommend leaving the cache recording on. I know its not good quality for editing..but at least you will have some video of the last flight..if it ever decided to do a fly away..could help you to find the drone.

The spark is small alright, but it doesnt stop dog walkers commenting abuse at me as i mind my own business flying in an area that the local police have suggested that i fly, some of the names I had to look up in a dictionary.

wow..great to know that gesture can be used with the controller on as a backup if it wont respond to my gestures. if it gets stuck over 6 foot high at least i will be able to lower it with the controller.
