[QUOTE="tmarsh0494, post: 72246, member: 14466"] First time posting. First time crashing my spark. 100% my fault. Was flying in sport mode, during the day in full view, at about 80'. Which wasn't enough to clear this group of trees but I thought that the spark was going to go in front of the trees, from my perspective. The spark hit the tree and I watched it go down. Immediately lost transmission and was disconnected on impact. Im assuming either the battery fell out, or it landed in the small creek. Here is the flight data: [URL='https://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/D97V92FG8L1K8SZ7THOZ/#']DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com[/URL] I immediately used the Find My Drone feature to go to the exact spot that it said to go to, which is also roughly where I watched it go down, but I cannot find it. Myself and 7 others spent hours looking for it. The ground is covered with dense grass and brush. I was able to find 2 pieces of propeller, but not the spark itself. So my question: during a crash, how accurate is the GPS? I feel at this point it is not anywhere where it says it is, but I've also looked everywhere within reasonable distance of the tree that took it down. Its frustrating that I can't find it, it has to be there somewhere. [/QUOTE]
