I think you can adjust with the older version of DJI Assistant. Or, if you use the NLD application, you can also adjust through that one too.

It'll have to be economy, though. :p

And the Spark has only 15 minutes flight time. Pfft. I'm getting me an A350.

I didn't say it was your first time; I just made a general comment that before anyone's first time it's a good idea to read up as much as possible so you do not learn the lesson the hard way. As for what you could have done, I explained wind speed vs drone speed and what that means in terms of...

Slow news day in Albuquerque.

I would have not flown up 1,600 feet and gone out downwind. Lesson for the future, but if I may be frank, before even flying for the first time (especially before flying for first time!), watch a ton of videos and read the forums about the mistakes people make. Flying out with the wind and not...

I would send it in. If it was a problem with the drone you will get a replacement for free under warranty. If you have DJI Care Refresh, it will at least cover you if the warranty doesn't for a small fee. But I wouldn't try to do a self repair. There is a lot going on with these birds that...

Hold left stick down while you're trying to grab it.

Don't take this as the gospel, but I believe that the firmware also has something to do with preventing your bird from taking off. So if the latest Fly Safe database on your bird says no-go, then it will probably not take off, whether you use Litchi or not. To circumvent that I would suggest...

FW=Firmware. I'm wondering if the fact you never updated your Spark has something to do with it. I am not an expert by any stretch, but there is a Fly Safe database as part of the FW that DJI updates. So on older FW you may not have that many restrictions, but on newer FW you do and those...

You're driving (and in traffic too) and keeping your eye on your drone/controller? That doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Even if you're waypointing it, there are so many things that can go wrong.

Get one of these and never fly without it. Way too many times I have heard of the battery popping out issue that I bought one before I even bought my Spark. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076WZVM89 And if you are brave and planning to fly without one, at least check the battery is on securely and...

Verified? I thought the Safe Fly database was part of the FW.

Try NLD. They have a FW version that has the NFZ removed. This limitation irks me no end, given I fly responsibly and wouldn't go beyond 100ft altitude and 300-400ft distance in a NFZ. Seriously thinking about buying an Autel Evo that has no such stupid restrictions.

Don't do anything stoopid.
