    AutoPilot and the Spark

    Good synopsis Tom! I believe you had gotten AP after I had back in January. I got side tracked with vacation,life and my wife decided I needed company after I retired...so she got we/me a dog!!!! A puppy to be exact. And they require a LOT of attention! Anyway I plan on getting back out soon...

    New Mavic Air leak.

    Yeah I kinda am....but for now with the proliferation of Drones flooding the market and rules and regs. also keeping us down,I’m going to improve my skills with my little Spark. By that time I’m sure there will be the next greatest and latest Drone that will be calling me!!

    Am I the oldest drone buyer

    Well you got me by just a few...I’m 66 and have had the Spark since June. It’s my first drone and until I explore all its capabilities and get proficient at flying it well...(had one collision with a oak tree,it’s a tough little sucker!!) it will be my only drone. I think DJI has had a major hit...

    Smack in the middle of a red zone

    Yeah I feel your pain...I’m about as red as you can get... Restricted Special Use Airspace FRZ C (WASHINGTON D.C.AREA C). So to fly at all I have at minimum a 15 minute drive just so I can launch the drone let alone get any respectable videos..but I knew that going in and I make it work..

    Auto pilot is it worth the 30.00??

    Yeah the flight school material is some serious stuff!! I’m constantly going back to it even though I’ve really only used the waypoint mode. The videos are good as well even though there’s really none that are Spark related. But keep it easy and simple starting out and you’ll be amazed at how...

    LAPD Gets a Spark

    The article stated that the “Sparks?” was going to be used for close quarters. The drones that will probably get the most usage would of course be the Phantoms. I believe DJI has more than one platform for the Matrice...though they didn’t state which one. Their was of course some negativity...

    LAPD Gets a Spark

    This may have been posted already. Read yesterday on the Drudge Report that LAPD has purchased several drones...all DJI! Two Phantoms,a Matrice and of course 1 small but mighty Spark. :D

    Auto pilot is it worth the 30.00??

    New guy here hope you don’t mind if I offer my opinion. I’ve had a spark since June great little drone and my first one as well. I bought the Autopilot app about three weeks ago and I have to tell you I am totally impressed with it. I also have the Litchi app and tried to use the VR goggles...
