    Spark antenna mod?

    this is an old post but here is my 2 cents, any antenna that is vertical (standing up) is omnidirectional and vertically polarized if you take this same antenna and put it horizontal (flat down) it will still be omnidirectional but horizontally polarized, punting another antenna or metal...

    Antenna position

    tricky question since the drone is right over head, the antennas on the spark are vertically polarized that means they are standing up not flat. the antennas on the control should be positioned the same. that works for me. or look at the signal symbol on the screen and move the controller till...

    looking for record of statistics, accidents, etc.

    thanks, by now is safe to assume hobby drones should not be fear. millions of drones are being sold world wide not a single air craft accident, or major safety concern. and is also safe to say that a bird represents more danger than a drone when it comes to commercial aircraft. another incident...

    Spark is fine. Vehicle is not.

    for those very stubborn lug nuts that just wont budge. get a nice long sharp chisel a nice heavy mallet, not a hammer, a mallet short handle 5 pounds should be good and put that chisel on that lug nut and hit that baby till the lug nut bust wide open. this has work for me many times. you might...

    looking for record of statistics, accidents, etc.

    does anybody has or know where to look for any more information or records concerning planes hitting drones or drones falling on people or causing accidents etc etc?.. i know there is millions of drones being sold world wide so there has to be some kind of data or information to justify some...
