[QUOTE="elmar, post: 43116, member: 3603"] The wind force is the main problem. Last week I wanted to test my spark how much wind it can handle. It was wind with force 4. I took off and cruised around with no issues or shakes that the gimbal can't handle. The problem was when I was flying back against wind. Switched to sport mode and was coming back with some effort yes. Then I decided to press the return to home button ( a very big mistake in my case) and it began to increase the altitude to 30m. At that point the wind took it the opposite way around 100m far but then it managed to come back with very little power in battery. I thought it was not going to make it. My lesson is not to underestimate to power of the wind and the spark is not ideal for these situations although you can still do it but you are risking it. [/QUOTE]
