Very cool! Pun intended ️

I have had the spark in 49mph winds and it survived [emoji5]️ I normally take it out in guests up to 30mph. As long as you use sport mode

WOW
Hey I saw nothing then.

...so, is the key for windy days to fly the Spark in sports mode? I was flying on normal mode.

I've definitely had my Spark drift away during just reasonable winds. Had to put it in Sport mode and fly it back manually. I was surprised the vision system didn't manage to keep it in position. Posts like all these above give me more encouragement to try though

Lol yeah just keep it about 5 feet off the ground so it won’t blow away.

I took the Spark up that day and there was some drifting and high wind warnings ...and I took it back down right a way : -) Here is a picture of some farmers burning debris and the smoke coming our way.

Edit: not sure what's wrong but I can't insert the picture. I will try uploading it from the laptop.

Okay, here is the picture of the smoke coming right at the Spark. For some reason my old cell does not load to the forum.

The Spark is great in the wind! I tested in 66kph gusts, very impressive.
