Best Color

[MR2 LANDO]

What is the best color for the Spark? I like red but I read that green and yellow ate the easiest ones to see at s distance

The Spark is a tiny drone. I think it's going to be tough to see from a distance in any color. If you want to make it more visible, look into attaching Flytron STROBON strobe lights to the front and back.

The color is really up to you. Does not affect performance.

Plus the color is on top. I think they are all the same on the bottom

 

[oledude]

I've seen skins that you could use to customize it as your own.

Red goes faster.

Just ask anybody with a sports car.

Just kidding, they're all the same build and perform equally.

Yes, they are all gray on the bottom.

Whatever color you can get the best price on...They all look the same in the sky!

Why settle for a single color?

Top shell is easily removable with just 6 screws. You can change it to any color you want for $10

Mine was meadow green, when I was looking for it in woods and yards after it flew away, keeping my eyes peeled for something bright green, I kept thinking white would standout more. I don’t know if that’s the case, but that’s what it seemed as I looked.
A lot of white sparks listed new on eBay are relatively cheap, the cheapest almost 40$s less than most colored ones, so if I get another Spark I’d probably get a white one and if I want color get a decal for the top.
There’s a lot of really good color options, question is how good are the decals, do they look good if applied well or can you tell they’re decals?

I am going to apply reflective vinyl on mine on the top and bottom. If it ever gets lost and I have an idea where it landed, I can search for it at night with a good bright flashlight.

Here's mine.

I used a paper hole punch and made dots from highly reflective D.O.T. tape used for marking trails. It really pops when the light hits it.



I did this after reading a story here on the Forum that they found the lost Spark in heavy brush by the sun glistening off of the 4 brass contacts of the battery.



I circled it and still it's hard to see.

I remember that story. The dot idea is a good one. I have a vinyl cutter like the sign shops use. I am going to create a pattern of some kind eventually. I wish I could get some of the high vis vinyl you used but I think I have enough sign vinyl to get the job done.

I chose red with the idea that it is a color not often found in nature compared to other choices. It won’t make it easy to spot the Spark on the ground, just easier.

Of course there are many Spark skins you could apply to make it more visible when down.

Don't fly during the fall season as there's plenty of red, and yellow leaves all over the ground.

Hello from the Hoosier Heartland, Northern Bob.

The red ones go faster.
Just ask anybody with a sports car.
