[QUOTE="psymon82, post: 16696, member: 3272"] Hey all! I am (was) a brand new drone owner. The spark has been my very first purchase as I thought it would be a good starting point. I have to say, the set up to get everything going was confusing. Anyway, I bought the combo version and decided to take it for a quick test flight in my front garden, using my Android phone as remote. I live directly in front of the sea, a little harbour town called Dun Laoghaire, in Dublin, Ireland. Anyway, the drone took off fine. I decided to just fly it straight up, watching my phone screen all the time. I then decided to take it back down using the return to home button. When I pressed it, I got a GPS warning and the drone suddenly started flying towards the ocean. I panicked and tried to gain control manually, but the drone wouldn't respond. It flew quite far out to sea and just dropped. I have no way to retrieve it and just feel sick about it. Does anyone know if there's any possible way of getting a replacement?? I know their probably isn't, but just thought I'd ask. Simon [/QUOTE]
