    The OTG port, it's not USB!

    Oh yeah, I noticed the BT interference without even leaving the house. With iOS phone wifi connected to RC, and RC to spark, I could not maintain a video feed that wasn't choppy and broken up. It was utterly useless. Having a hard-wired video feed via OTG just seems more... reliable... in...

    Did you mark your Spark with owner info?

    Just FAA registration number written on the hind legs of both my Spark and Mavic and inside the battery compartment reg# + basic contact info (name, tele, email). As others have noted, in the USA the FAA reg is not required for hobby pilots if operating strictly under the "special rule for...

    Can anyone recommend screen video recording and video editing?

    Best answer is literally to wait for iOS 11 as it has native screen recording. It's only another month out, give or take. As for video editing -- I'm a lowly macOS user so I can't help ya there ;-) Happy flying!
