hey guys, what's up with my spark?
So I live in Brooklyn and the weather has been crap! at least the last couple of weeks when I haven't had to work. It's super warm here today and supposed to hit 75F tomorrow so I'm going to head upstate to hike around in shorts and shoot some footage(did I mention it's February?)
I charged my batteries before I went out tonight, came back home and powered up my Spark just to check that I didn't need top update any firmware...
My AC connects to my RC, my RC connects to my tablet just like always, I can take off and fly around my parlor but the screen says "Weak transmission signal" Man they aren't kidding, it's almost unusable. The picture updates about once a minute. Now yes I'm in Brooklyn, surrounded by WIFI I know but I've flown around my apartment more hours then I'm proud of and it's never been like this. Ok maybe my Bluetooth speaker might be on or something but it's never acted like this before. The scary thing was when the tablet was sitting on my lap, picture frozen and I'm holding the controller and when I try to spin the AC around facing away from me to palm land, I push the joystick and it spins an inch or two and stops, doesn't responds and then spins an inch and stops and doesn't respond. Now mind you, it's two feet in front of me and I can grab it but what if it does this tomorrow on the mountain?
I've NEVER had this happen before. Did I miss something? Is there a problem with the firmware? I follow this forum pretty religiously but I haven't seen something like this. Any suggestions or a "heads up" about a new problem going around please hit me back.
As always, Fly Safe and be a good ambassador for our fellow pilots
Thanks guys
