First time I have wanted to read a large comment all the way through. Well written.

I used otg when I first bought my Spark last year. Forgot the cable one day so flew without...no difference for me at all. I have now flown as standard for three months with no issues at all. I must admit I never fly outside los so don’t fly long distances. When I fly I enjoy watching Sparky, no...

Anyone from Perth area.

Hi Guys, it happened when I flew too close to the underside of a bridge. I didn’t realise the amount of wind turbulence there would be there and it hit the bridge. Luckily I had prop guards on but it fell about 15 feet into the water. I have the footage of its fall and about 5 secs of its...

Hi All, you think it will never happen to you, but yes it does. While out last week I made a mistake and my Spark ended up in a river. He was in there around 20 mins till I managed to get him out. I immediately removed the battery which would not switch off with random sequences of lights...

Can’t believe any spark owner wouldn’t know the WiFi and password on their drone, that’s how you set it up! I certainly wouldn’t hand it over to someone who couldn’t produce this info.

I may be missing something here, but are you referring to the “click” when you fit the batteries to the Spark. If so, mine has always made a click, with all the four batteries I have. Wouldn’t fly it if I didn’t hear it click into place.

Hi, I bought the portable charger and twin battery pack, great buy. I now have four batteries. Personally, don’t think it’s worth going any distance to fly for the 12min a single battery would give you. Btw, I’ve found the portable charger charges the batteries faster than the mains supplied one!

Hi All, just seen an advert for Epsons new FPV glasses....they look awesome. They are the size of spectacles but it appears they have heads up display which you can see through so stil able to see your drone. They specifically mention DJI drones in the advert so look good. Anyone used them?

I was flying last Sunday in a fairly remote spot when two hillwalkers came up to speak to me about the drone. Within a minute I had interference and lost contact but the rth worked and all good. Then realised both walkers had phones and one had a gps device as well, all Bluetooth.

Know what you mean...must go the wife might spot the glow of my iPad under the duvet...

Hi, just been asked a question by a friend regarding the flight limits and I wasn’t sure how to answer him. If two pilots are flying drones, one flies over his height limit of 120 meters, the other climbs up an adjacent hill to 120mtrs height, then flies his drone to the same height. The first...

Maybe we should start a “Silver Spark Section” for us “mature” pilots?

I love flying my spark, tomorrow I’m competing with my son on the Xbox. I’m 67 but don’t intent to “be old” for a long time.

I ordered the dji charger from dji on Tuesday, it just arrived today (Saturday) that’s only 3days and the courier DPD apologized for the delay!!! I’m in Scotland btw.
