[QUOTE="droffarc, post: 125343, member: 13145"] Hi Folks I have not flown my spark for many months and today was the day. On the first flight, withing 50 sec at a height of 12m and distance of 47m I got the dreaded "ATTI Mode" and lost control of the bird. Quick press the (II) button and immediately it stopped in it's tracks (before hitting a tree ;). I then fitted the parabolic extender (back to front like an idiot - "It must face the drone, moron" refitted correctly and flew away 147m without a hitch. My next two flights were also in excess of 100m without even a hint of loss of signal (except when I was not pointing the controller directly at the spark). I was even impressed by the fact that the spark was more visible at that distance than my mini2. Conclusion: These parabolic extenders really do work * but I think everyone knows that by now. I might even obtain a yagi and enjoy flying my spark again. Happy flying [/QUOTE]
