[QUOTE="BlancoRob, post: 20072, member: 1675"] Fly it close until you're used to how it operates. As you get more comfortable you can fly it farther and farther away. Always make sure you have at least 10+ satellites locked before taking off. Always check your IMU and compass before taking off, recalibrate if needed. Check UAV forecast to make sure the weather is appropriate for flight. If the spark does anything out of the ordinary fly it back home manually and land as soon as possible. Don't panic. Flying manually by sight is better than just pressing RTH when you want it to come home. I regularly fly long distance and I follow these guidelines and haven't had any issues so far. The spark is simple, motors, propellers, GPS, compass, and IMU. These should all be checked before every flight. It only takes 30 seconds. [/QUOTE]
