OK. Lots of anger. I get it.

Corroborative Evidence of this statement? It feels like it is getting political.

Agreed. So it feels like a smart move by the UK government. Safeguarding controlled airspace whilst also having the capability of confirming drone sightings ... or none.

According to the BBC News today, all UK airports now have, or soon will have “military grade anti drone equipment” fitted. This equipment can detect, track and take down drones. Police are to be given stronger powers in this area. Hopefully, the “thrill” or whatever some people get in flying a...

I guess that the loss of a hull plus 450 lives is the only thing that would quieten that sort of suggestion. Seriously guys, Heathrow Airport has one arrival or departure every 90 seconds throughout the day. An assessment of the validity of the sighting would first be made, probably by a group...

I feel sure that this information was confirmed by a separate source before they chose to shut down an airport the size of Heathrow. However, if any member gets any information on the identity of these “lunatics” flying near an airport, our community will benefit greatly from you informing the...

All good stuff! Three (unnecessary) replacement batteries makes a big hole in my pocket money

Suggest you search Utube for “The Ultimate DJI Spark Battery Guide.” It is 50 minutes long but I’m sure will save you money and stress in the long run to have all the information.

Suggest you put all 3 batteries in the charging hub and see what indications you get on each battery. These SMART batteries monitor and control their own charge state, even when not connected to a charging hub. Depending on the “blink rate” and which LED is flashing (LED2, 3 or 4) will determine...

OK thanks for this info. I have looked and cannot find those selections that you mentioned. Just the RTH at Current Altitude which I keep deselected. Thanks anyway for your time.

Partly finger trouble on my part I think. When I had the 2 RTH button “failures”, I was flying with only Airplane Mode selected on my IPhone. This time I physically switched OFF my home WiFi. I also removed the OTG cable. Subsequent tests of using the RTH button were successful. What got me...

Thanks. Yes I have - 35m. My only thoughts concern satellite reception. It varies between 11 and 16 in my area. I know low satellite reception can upset RTH. However, using the RTH icon and swipe provides me with a perfect RTH profile as briefed.

I’ve had just 2 occasions to use the RTH button on the Spark controller. The first was at a range of about 800m and height of 20m over the sea. I had lost sight of the unit and it was behaving erratically to heading commands. I therefore hit the RTH button. No voice response or beeps. Then I...

I found lots of good information about Spark batteries on this Youtube video. It’s 50 minutes long, but full of good stuff IMO. Hope you have time.
