I have been flying my Spark for around 6 months now and early on had one flyaway in similar circumstances. Immediately before it flew off, there was a 'magnetic field interference' warning and loss of GPS with susbsequent failure of RTH. Long story short, - I got it back after some brief...

Life became briefly exciting the other day whilst demonstrating the wonders of drones to a friend. Hovering at about 20 metres over a 1.5 acre lawn, my Spark suddenly climbed to about 35 metres and shot off towards a group of trees about 50 metres away uphill, away from the established home...

Like most here, I have the function button controlling the gimbal down/up view. I don't use the other one because my comedy arthritic hands make flying adventurous enough as it is and I've not been at it that long. You may however like to have a look at my post of 25th July - Knowledge test in...

I'm 67. It seems that there are a lot of us Boomers on here, along with some of the bigger boys we used to blame for doing the bad thing and running away ( rarely true ). I see a lot of references to the 'inner child', with all of which I agree - my 12 year-old self bought my Spark. Here's a...

It was 10 multiple-choice questions with 5 ( I think ) possible answers each, fairly basic and could be completed by clicking every answer until you hit the right one ( at least on the three questions I tried doing that ).

FAA doesn't apply here either so the test, when I finally did it to clear it off the app, was tailored to EC regulations and I agree - it's not a bad idea. Given the sophistication of the technology however, I would have thought a logical trigger for something like that would have been switching...

I have emailed them and await a reply with bated breath.

It's a Samsung S7. It seems to do the job, particularly after I shifted to 2.4Ghz.

It was the DJI GO 4 app.

I'm new to this drone lark but by means of some creative lurking on this forum and other sources, I have managed ( somehow ) to become reasonably competent in the use of my Spark, although I don't fully understand all the stuff that makes it go. Today, having just updated the firmware and...
