Go figure.
I made my 1 year anniversary with the Spark.
Sent it out with litchi to re-create the "race home" video I made with ahome made craft.
I followed it much of the way with a few things delaying me in traffic.
But I could pick up the transmission from time to time.
Then I got the horrid RTH beep while waiting on a red light.
The flight plan did not include an RTH.
I got through the light and was able to cancel the RTH.
I managed to maneuver the craft for a bit but went down the road too far before losing contact again.
So it must have finally went into low battery land but I could not regain contact.
Landed in the middle of a block, no trees according to GPS but could not find it.
Fortunately, I have it FAA marked and notified the police.
Maybe another search after work but for now, wait.
This was Sparky 2, the Sky Blue backup.
