[QUOTE="Ophidia Snaketongue, post: 24488, member: 4719"] After my own 'Pilot is a *******' crash, I held Sparky upside down and shook it until the propeller bits came out :D. The propellers are designed to be the part that fails, rather than the motors. It's a good bit of design. Either way, OP: don't give up. The spark is amazing and great fun, and there are lots of tips on this forum to get the best out of it. Unfortunately, DJI's marketing is in charge of making the manuals and they make it seem far more easy and foolproof than it really is. Their biggest publicity photo of the Spark on their webpage shows it being flown indoors. Crazy. Your best approach is to find a nice big field and have a really good play and experiment with Sparky's controls. Get a feel for them, and an idea of how to stop the Spark if it does something silly. You can fly the Spark indoors, but it's best to try it outdoors first. I hope you get your motors fixed. Edit: Huh, turns out this UK person didn't realise how bad a word I used. I thought it was fairly acceptable slang. In the censored bit above, put 'silly person'. [/QUOTE]
