I'm in Fredericton NB, a few locations to fly along the St John River off the bike trail's to the shore line. Should be able to do that soon now that river levels going back down to normal.

Thanks for the info. Yes I realize the registration doesn’t authorize flights in controlled airspace. I’m still on the learning curve and am anxious to get out to fly. Very windy here these next few days. Thanks for the tip on Italian spot in Palm City. Might have to give it a try. John

I just arrived down here and haven’t yet unpacked the Spark. I’ll give it a try where we are and see what the GO4 app says and will let you know. I may have to go closer to Stuart to deal the lock feature authorizing. I registered the Spark with FAA as a Canadian so I’ll be interested in seeing...

I’m asking to find out where fellow enthusiasts have found suitable areas to fly. I realize that there are restrictions from airports, like Stuart that extends into part of the Hutchinson island and Jensen Beach, but there are still other areas not affected. The B4UFLY app is useful. cheers...

Looking for areas to fly Spark around Hutchinson Island / Jensen Beach Fl

yes, took and passed my basic exam in August 2019 after studying material with help of several helpful on line sources.

Thanks RotorWash ... until my post, I’ve never heard of, or tried the figure 8 maneuver with my iPhone, so that’ll be another tip to add to the tool box. I love this little Spark!

Thanks for tip!

I’ve had a few times that my iphone‘s spark attitude indicator and North marker was way off. So yesterday I completed a field compass calibration. i also did an IMU calibration at home. I then went for a flight and still found the direction wrong. So I flipped my phone and all is well. i now...

Same here in New Brunswick. Photos taken with Spark last week in Lake Utopia area

Oh ya me too!!! Maybe a check list is needed

Ok thanks ... I did a bit more experimenting today and you’re right it does seem to remember most settings. The histogram is a bit different. I’m assuming changing batteries won’t change the settings. We’ll see on next flight. I’ve been using a OTG cable and so far all is good.

I'm a new Spark pilot. Wondering if various flight and camera settings can be set as default. Seems I have to re-set for each flight.

Located in Fredericton... New Spark owner... 8 flights so far

I passed the basic exam in August and received my certification
