[QUOTE="mick92780, post: 14438, member: 1081"] Well, I just had my first flight with the Spark and Autopilot. I did a zip line from one end of my street to the other at 120 feet while keeping the gimbal/camera focus on my house. It worked as advertised. One surprise: once I engaged Autopilot, and it counted down from 5 and flew the Spark up to Point A, I expected it would then just proceed to Point B without my intervention. It did not. I looked at the app and saw "Fly to Point B" in purple letters. I pressed it, and it then executed the maneuver, flawlessly as far as I can tell. After it was done it just hung in the air at Point B. I pressed disengage and flew the bird back to me. The RC mode switch was in P the whole time. So then, does that mean, given my original question in this thread that when I want to do an emergency override of Autopilot I would move the slider to S? I guess I will try that and answer my own question. One other thought: it's a mighty odd feeling to watch your drone flying under computer control. Mostly cool, but also a little unsettling. [/QUOTE]
