[QUOTE="Spark 317, post: 121345, member: 894"] Hello from the Hoosier Heartland [URL="https://sparkpilots.com/members/pms360.22552/"]PMS360[/URL]. Nice to meet you Paul. ? I've been flying the Spark since 2017 and recently had my second crash a few weeks ago that compromised the gimbal. The first one was in 2018. Both in my backyard due to pilot error by not canceling the RTH fast enough. :D I Launched from one point (open area) and I moved to the comfort of a shade tree away from my HP. When the battery got low, the Spark wanted to go home as I was flying it back to me [B][U]UNDER THE TREE,[/U][/B] and up into the tree it went. No problems as it was stuck there and working fine, but as I was getting a ladder to retrieve it, the wind had blown it from the tree and gravity took over from there. The Spark still fly's fine and the camera works, but the gimbal motor doesn't work and is throwing out errors so I'm going to attempt to do [I]open Spark surgery [/I]soon to remedy the problem. Plus one for the Prop Guards since I broke one of them and not an arm as I'm sure that would have happened on impact. ? I haven't flown with just the phone, but the remote is the way to go. Enjoy your Spark and welcome to the Forum. :cool: . [/QUOTE]
