    Which is more demanding on your mobile hardware?

    Stopping the props mid-flight

    if you go on YouTube look for DJI F550 crash, he loses all his engines at about 9 minutes into the video and you can see at that point the Drone stabilizes and ends up somehow Landing in trees with much less impact then if it would just fall from the sky and I understand that the spark doesn't...

    Stopping the props mid-flight

    Yes, and as any heli pilot knows, you can land safely with total engine loss and "glide" down, but that is possible only because the rotor never stopped spinning and has little need of force to continue spinning...not sure if in the improbable situation where the rotor was static and had to gain...

    Stopping the props mid-flight

    And even if it was heavier in the back it would be a simple countermeasure of spinning the front props faster (to a certain degree) because this is not a helicopter so it doesn't rely only on one Centre Force pulling it up. I know that folding propellers might be counterintuitive but it's the...

    Stopping the props mid-flight

    Hairdryer... Allow me to to laugh. :DYou did see the word TORNADO right!!!!! :eek: Here's another interesting thing I found that gave me more insight about this drone. Send the spark up when you get the P-GPS lock, not in sport but normal, then bring it down to a level you can catch it from...

    Stopping the props mid-flight

    Please do, I did. And that controlled stress test I gave to my spark was the first time I was impressed by how quick and efficiently the spark reacts to gusts...and these are concentrated gusts. I did it from below, side and above, and it moves maybe in a 2 feet radius. But dont take my word...

    Stopping the props mid-flight

    Not quite. The way you put it, it seems like they RELY on being spun to stay extended, they dont, they just need it to deploy, then they stay deployed because they are not spring loaded. So in flight, i dont see how that could become problematic unless an external factor somehow folded them...

    First 180 Pano, thoughts?

    Sorry to include myself but I'm with you 100%. In terms of design in general, arts and other flair for making things look nice, I admit my taste is not great, i just don't have the vision. But who needs that when all i can do is break a height regulation in an otherwise empty airspace at 5am...

    Stopping the props mid-flight

    That my friend is a brilliant observation few people ever have and is the only thing that is the missing factor in a general false idea of "what happens if a helicopter loses the top rotor"...most people say their prayers, anybody with some knowledge of aerial vehicles know the helicopter...

    prevent fly away

    Hey, as a person that had a close call quite recently and just got the drone back from repair, i can tell you the best thing i had on my side was a good understanding of what the spark is, how it does it, and how it is a wonderful piece of crap. I have an extensive thread with flight logs and...
