    Good starter drones for kids

    Spark distance

    I have never been able to get too much over 1600 ft no matter what I try. I got the range externders that slide over the antenna and for me, they made no difference at all. I am not sure how others are getting longer distances.

    Cant update the fly zone database?

    I am always losing the video signal lately

    I am using the other cable because I had read that lots of people recommend using one. I haven’t acually tried flying without it. Maybe I will experiment with that too and see how it goes..

    I am always losing the video signal lately

    closing and reopening the app doesn't seem to help. when i relaunch the app, it comes up to the home screen and never shows the blue "Go Fly" button. I am using an iphone X on ios 12 with Go 4.3.3 (4220)

    I am always losing the video signal lately

    Thanks for the replies. Good to know about flying directly overhead. One of the big mysteries for me is why once it disconnects, it stays disconnected for the rest of the flight.
