Just bought my spark waiting for it to arrive anything I should know?

I’ve noticed the more that I fly it it the better the battery life has gotten. I’ve gone from 10 minute flights to about 12 minute flights. I have noticed that if you fly fully in sport mode the battery lasts a lot longer. Now of course I take it out of sport mode to get the smooth shots but. I fly to where I want in sport mode to get more out of the battery.

It's no secret at all. The Spark consumes battery in the following decreasing order.
1. Hover
2. P-mode
3. Sports mode

Any advice is apreciated

Be patient with the set up.....try the sim and as many others on here have said, watch the YouTube videos. I found a guy on there called Jason and his tutorials are excellent. He even has training checklists where you work your way through a list of things to try. Have loads of fun.

Don't try it with your smartphone that was top-of-the-line years ago.

My remote quit talking to the spark in the presence of the phone. Before that, it sometimes behaved rather badly. Got a new phone the other day and things work SO much better, though I've only flown 3 batteries so far.
