    Spark Boosted Antenna Mods (my testing and results)

    My first flight With my Spark

    Congrats! My first flight made me feel like a kid again when you get that toy you've always wanted.

    Spark Sudden Signal Loss and Fly Away

    Spark Sudden Signal Loss and Fly Away

    Hi All, I just made an account in the hope that someone can review my flight log and let me know if I'm missing something that could help me find my drone. On August 2nd I had a strong signal, suddenly lost signal, initiated RTH, and then the drone reported a compass error and disconnected for...
