[QUOTE="Girth67, post: 19596, member: 1691"] I normally fly in the countryside on 2.4ghz WIFI, however today I flew in a huge park (hardly anyone about) in a town centre the difference in the spark was incredible....not in a good way. Firstly my Spark experience to date in the countryside has been a pleasure. Smooth flight, control and video. So today I followed my normal routine of selecting a 2.4ghz channel with smallest green bar.....to my amazement almost all the channels were red so I considered packing up without flying. However I thought I'd give it a go. Once flying the video lag and image quality was horrendous and the normally instant taking of photos was just as bad. Due to The lag control and the flight experience was terrible. So I landed and changed to 5.8ghz which again only had two usable channels. This time video was much sharper but range was terrible giving warnings at 70m. The AC seemed to wander and yawl with no input. But control was better due to the reduction of lag. I'm not complaining as I stated I mainly fly in the countryside and it's the polar opposite of today's events , I just thought the experience should be passed on. [/QUOTE]
