I think that's a bit of a semantic screw up. You can fly the craft with one hand - all the flight controls are on the stick by the look of it - you just need to use two hands to *hold* the controller. They certainly could have worded it better. In the video, it looked like the controller was...

Smart idea. But I was referring to Karl's comment about 'get away without drone insurance'. :)

That's because it is 'free' until you buy a license. ;)

Do you think you can afford paying for hospital costs if you crash into someone, or repay the property damage if you crash into something valuable - like scratching some guys BMW paint job? Or the large fine you will get when you go to court to answer why you did not have insurance for your...

plus drastically reduced flight time

I think tinkering with the Intelligent Battery on the Spark is probably not a great idea anyway. There is 'battery management' circuitry (and some software) designed for the stock battery to get the most out of it. If you start strapping on bigger value batteries, that stuff will no longer...

This is why I have 6 Spark batteries... as I fly, I rotate empty batteries through the charger, so i often enjoy around 60-80 minutes of cumulative flight time in a single session.

According to Switzerland - Regulations - Drone Rules, you should not be flying recreational drones at night anyway. As with other countries, like Denmark, you would likely need a seperate permission or certificate to be qualified to fly at night - and that is typically if you need to fly for a...

That is, of course, your opinion based on either your own personal experience, or - more accurately since you stated 'as far as I know' - perhaps what you read on forums. I've personally had no issues with the app on Android aside from trying to run it on a sketchy Chinese Android tablet. But...

Your link fails! unless manually copied and pasted. :) Sadly, I consider the Storm mostly vapor-ware, as there is only one in existence currently, and we may not get to play with it unless we opt in to pay for the Studio service.

Sky-is-falling syndrome! :p

You realize the Apple iOS version gets updated occasionally too, right? :p

That was SPark_South_Oz, not me :) I mentioned Drone Harmony.

Drone Harmony is another Spark-supported mapping and waypoint app. Drone Harmony - Reinventing flight planning for DJI Drones And they got a new 'cloud based' web app to make routes then sync them with the DH app on your phone/tablet.
