Thanks Imel2005! I knew the answer would be simple. It never dawned on me to use DJI Assistant. I knew about the Tello as I've been busy knocking over lamps with it the last couple days:cool: Thanks again!

I have noticed many of the members have multiple DJI drones so I am sure someone can help me. My Spark is the first DJI product I have owned. I keep coming across deals I can't pass up. In just the past 2 weeks I have become the owner of a Mavic Pro, a Mavic Air and a Tello that I bought for one...

In store. I made a typo. $449

I saw at Microcenter today they had Spark Fly More Combo $446

I agree that folding props work just fine with the motor spinning them. I disputed the claim that they would counter rotate after a loss of power. I was able to get the ol' leaf blower out today. Unless the Spark falls level at something approaching 200mph, relying on spinning props to get you...

HA HA!! I think you and I are looking at two different things.I only have about30 or so flights on my Spark and I've never flown where I had enough room to try top speed runs. I was curious about Chips observation of the props rotating on the way down on his Spark without power. I can't wrap my...

All the big stores price match. Just ask.

I was more curious about the Spark props being able to counter rotate after a power failure. I tried using my wife's hairdryer, admittedly not a lot of volume, and the props weren't able to overcome the magnetic drag of the motor. They just started to fold some and would not spin the motor more...

Bummer.:( They will order from other stores for you including the batteries. They will also price match which is why I got the batteries for the price I did.

Thanks Andre!

Hmmm.......The next dry day I'm gonna test that with my leaf blower:) I made the statement because I noticed that my props are not straight when I stop the motors. Interesting........

Instead of the charge hub, which only charges 1 battery at a time, I bought the DroneMax MP-18A which is a dedicated Mavic Pro charger. It charges 3 batteries at once at 60W per output unlike the charge hub that does 1 at time at 50w until they are all charged. Fully automatic and much faster...

I got my MP at Micro Center for $549 and two batteries for $55 each and 2 pair of MPP props for $11 each. Most of a Fly More Combo for under $700. Thats why I bought it when I did.

I had no idea this problem was big enough to create an industry of fixes! Bad DJI. Bad.....

I just purchased a Mavic Pro as well. I intend to keep the Spark forever! It's fun and an entirely different drone from the MP. The Spark has 4 rotors and so does the MP. Other than that they fill different niches. I found an exceptional deal on the MP or I would have waited for Xmas. I wanted...
