[QUOTE="Chrislaf, post: 92989, member: 3317"] Thanks Andre for the tips. Never thought about bringing hand in from side. I'm going to try that on land first and see how things go. Today, I went out (on land) and tested a few things out. I used Litchi and GO4 to turn off the sensors, launched from the ground using AutoPilot and flew up about a metre to a hover. I immediately noticed that the Spark was much less stable in the hover and was even drifting a bit. Flew up and ran a quick Follow mission but the camera feed froze but the mission was still active but not as solid as it usually is. When I came in to land, I put my hand under the Spark and did left stick down but instead of gently descending to my hand, Spark dropped suddenly. I caught it without getting my fingers nicked, but I definitely won't be doing this on a kayak or canoe. While in AutoPilot the front facing sensors seemed to be working but not the down facing ones. Next flight, I used GO4 and launched from the ground the same way. This time the Spark was ultra stable in the hover. Ran a quick Active Track mission and then hand landed as I usually do.
