[QUOTE="N3M3SIS2ALL, post: 2003, member: 72"] Man this thread is hitting home, Ive been debating on selling my mav over the last few hours. Came back from a 4 day trip to Cancun and had the spark waiting to be opened. Even though I seen a ton of vids on the spark it is surprising the size of the thing especially without the prop guards. I have a feeling I would have flown more using the spark than the mavick on my trip. Even though the Mav is small it does draw a bit more attention than I like, somehow I feel the spark would come off as a toy more than something serious. My whole reasoning to buying the mav is portability....which it is, but no comparison to the spark. But on the flipside the Mav I think blows it away in every other sense. I have never had the Mav feel like it was out of control and have always had a crystal clear view. Flying the spark today seemed good at times and bad at times. After I got over the pain of having connection problems I moved on. Tried some indoor flying with my phone, had a tendency to wander around a bit side to side up and down nothing to drastic, now in the sparks defense I had an overhead ac running, and 2 portable ac to the sides and one oscillating fan about 10 ft away but I dont think it should have been a problem. Tried indoor with the rc, definitely better. Tried inside hand jestures/palm control and it worked perfectly. Tried palm control outside and had a hard time staying in one place, it would read my hand, then lose it and wander to the left, catch my hand again and lose it again and wander more to the left and then I kinda panicked because it was heading toward a car.....and yes I didnt listen and was not connected in any other fashion "in case" sh*# happened. So as I started to freak out I tried to palm land and it would fidget and move back and to the left, few seconds later it finally landed. Day was a bit breezy but nothing drastic.
