[QUOTE="Spark 317, post: 98489, member: 894"] My VO and I did a test flight this afternoon and had a confirmed sighting at 1650 feet at 185' AGL with the prop guards on and white clouds for a background. That's a little over a 1/4 mile, not quite 3/8. It took me about thirty seconds to acquire the black dot (Spark), after looking up from the screen, with the help of my VO, which never took her eyes off of the Spark, on the white background of clouds. Had it been a blue sky, I probably wouldn't have seen it. It's easy to get distracted by the bugs and birds flying above the field as they are about the same size of the Spark at that distance. I did another test with the strobes at that distance and as stated, pretty much useless in the daylight. I usually will never fly this far and was just a test flight. It's good to have another set of eyes and ears when flying the Spark. :) [/QUOTE]
