It's always great when a post is going along quite nicely with opinions and discussion and someone feels it necessary to stir it up by using a condescending slant to their post.
I suggest you read my posts again I use the term "frustrating" which is very different from "upset". No other posts suggest anyone is "upset". As far as I can see this was a genuine question asked by the original poster that others were making observations on, everyone playing nicely.
You will also see my posts are Very complimentary of the spark and I totally get safety, again read my posts.
There are plenty of posts on why the spark is out performed by the mavic some due to tech some due to restrictions, I think "frustration" arises when the signal is dropping out or lagging badly for some at 100m or less in CE mode with the remote controller, when our FCC friends can achieve a strong safer signal for greater distances. Flying the spark when it develops lag is poor at best as turns cannot be coordinated and there is a strong possibility you won't get it back in one piece......at 100/200m?
Remember the spark cost £519 in the UK, it's not a cheap piece of tat its a sophisticated expensive bit of kit. I personally would just like to have a non lagging stable signal on a more regular basis which would in fact be safer.
