If it were I. I’d be sending ‘em back. No reason to pay full price for old stock. Plus they have the small lock tabs. Good Luck on what ever your choice. I love my Spark!

Did you get a really good price? Where they in hibernation mode? What do you mean by barely within the safe zone? Were they lower than 3.7 v per cell? Were the cells incredibly out of balance? What? Lipos that have been setting around for awhile need to be cycled a few times to show their...

This isn't really about idiot rogue pilots, it's about really big money convincing the FAA to kick the hobby drones out of the sky beween zero to 400 ft so they can use commercial drones to deliver packages.

Where does one find information about that?

Interesting.

I can’t wait to see what kind of aeronautical knowledge and safety test we will be required to pass and how much it will cost. Hopefully something we can do online at little or no cost. Fat chance at that.

Can't wait to see the fallout from this one.

That’s the one I got. $25 from Amazon. But a lot good choices being shown.

That’s a hold over from RC Planes and a lot of RC Toys. The receivers in these devices won’t respond properly unless the transmitter is turned on first. The newer DJI devices are ‘smart’ enough to not do anything until locked to the proper controller. This is what works for me: Turn on Spark...

Most any LiPo battery should hold a charge for six months or so. However, don’t leave them totally discharged.

Love Sport Mode. :)

My spark flys great indoors. Solid. Let go of the sticks and it stays right where it stops. No drift. No float. Holds altitude. I don’t do anything special when I fly. Just turn it on and go. Flies in Atti Mode. I fly with a group of RC’ers that have access to a metal building that’s about 40’...

Very interesting. Thanks
