[QUOTE="YOWer, post: 18341, member: 2373"] Good evening Spark colleagues I was hoping you could possibly shed light on a disconnect problem I had today - my first. I had flown the Spark on a fully charged battery for about 20% of the battery reserve (therefore leaving 80% available) and completed the flight with a shut down. Then my neighbour asked me to check his chimney cap. So I rebooted Spark and flew it to his place. I was hovering over his chimney when there was a gust of wind and all of a sudden I was disconnected (using controller with OTG to iPhone). I nearly panicked (ok I did panic for a moment) and tried everything to reconnect to no avail. Spark smartly went into RTH or so I hoped as I couldn't confirm with controller. It ultimately flew back and landed beside me. Yay! So the diagnosis: any thoughts as to the disconnect? Do you think it was because I was using a less than fully charge battery? Gust of wind? Other. All thoughts welcome. Best YOWer [/QUOTE]
