Why is it that people who want to know about other drones than the great Spark, ask about them on a SPARK forum?! What's wrong with asking about them on their forums? It's tedious enough to scroll through a very long list of subjects related to just the Spark to have non Spark questions adding...

I have six batteries, some new some used, but the used ones had a low charge count when I bought them. This is where we need new tech batteries to replace the cells with a bit more flight time without weight penalties...c’mon Elon!

Yes li-ion, look up the Samsung 20S 18650, that gives out 30 amp continuous. it’s for high drain devices, wether it’s suitable for a Spark, I don’t know.

I’m 61 going on 19! Ex Army air dispatcher, salesman, postie, truck driver and Spark driver:p I have no wish to retire, just going to stay as I am for as long as I can twiddling me fingers and thumbs!

The ones I use can chuck out 20 amps continuous 35 burst, what do the spark motors need?

For a lot of Spark flyers, the Achilles heal is the battery, only lasting around 10/12 minutes from 1480 mah. The weight of this battery is 98 gms. There has been a few battery mods applied, that for a lot, does not give any real advantages due to weight increases. The 18500 li- ion battery is...

Very cool look. I doubt it would have made much difference simply down to the Sparks limitations, two axis gimbal and small battery/ duration.

I’ve always considered updating any software with great caution. Having had computers since the Amiga500 there has always been stories of difficulties after flashing firmware. Since I’m not a programmer, I’ve tried to steer away from doing updates unless absolutely necessary! The first question...

On my last litchi flight, the final leg started with 'signal lost drone out of control' i looked at my screen to what i thought was my spark in a hover, nope! Seconds later the spark was coming over head as commanded. Chaz

I have always used an otg cable, it’s far more secure and the connection at startup is instant! BTW I use Litchi rather than DJI GO 4, could be making a difference in startup time. chaz

Very nice photo, did you use a nd filter or is that without? chaz

I first bought a Spark nearly two years ago, but after a few negative experiences with my life, decided to sell it. Then I felt a little more positive and bought a second Spark! Having distance issues, as we all do, I purchased the Litchi app and wow, it’s made all the difference....so far! I’ve...

Do you mean the FCC upgrade?

One thing I’ll add, as a model aircraft builder and flier since 1984, I find it difficult to take my eyes off the Spark once it’s flying, the number one rule to all fliers is never take your eye off the aircraft. Flying the Spark through the crafts own “eyes” is taking some getting use to. Chaz

I’m intrigued .
