[QUOTE="Fallguy, post: 28135, member: 6005"] My experience with that was not good. Let me explain...... I had just got my Spark and took it to work with me , because of the weather here in Ohio , there was no way I would fly any of my drones outside last week. We have a nice size warehouse with 30 foot ceilings and its pretty empty at this time of the year. I started my Spark and it said I was in ATTI mode and I took off. It was very stable so started to fly around a bit .Top speed was very slow , I could almost walk that fast , which was ok . Every once in a while it would sped up for an instant (millisecond) and slow right back down. I flew the length of the warehouse , turned around and came back at myself . As it got closer I wanted to just barely fly over my head as it passed . As soon as it was about a foot above and a foot away , it sped up and almost hit the top of my head . Well I wont do that again. lol . The next day I was showing my buddy at work how it handled inside , we both have mavics . It was flying around normally and I took my eye off of it for a second as it was heading straight away from me , and it took off full speed right into a wall before I could do anything. It then dropped down to the rail road track and on the rocks surrounding them. I couldnt believe how fast it went from 2 mph to 32 mph and how it covered the 20 yards to the wall in a second. The only damage was a prop guard got bent and a scratch on the side of the camera and gimbal. I am thinking it kicked into GPS mode at those times . This is something they should fix in their software .Or have a switch for indoor flying . [/QUOTE]
