[QUOTE="Spark 317, post: 105515, member: 894"] Depending on which day you flew, the wind was blowing in different directions and speed. 43% of battery equals about 7 minutes of flight time. In Atti-mode, the Spark will hover at the same height, but flow with the wind. The weather for Christchurch NZ on Monday November 11, 12:00 noon, the wind was to the North at 16 mph or 3.75 minutes / mile with 7 minutes of battery left means that the Spark could have flown almost 2 miles from the last reported location before it ran out of power and landed. Thursday November 14, 12:00 noon, the wind was to the South West at 12 mph or 5 minutes a mile with 7 minutes of battery, the Spark could almost be a mile and a half away. A search area could be established with enough information given for the day and time of flight. I have the loc8tor transmitter that is good for about 400 feet to help find my Spark. The Tile Pro is also a popular tile and I heard that anybody with a cell phone can download the app and help you find it. The GPS transmitter is the best but may require a monthly fee for use. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
