[QUOTE="I B Spectre, post: 106689, member: 18605"] I don't know if you've seen this YT video, but the author shows how he reduced his Spark to 249 grams so it would fall under the Micro Drone category in Canada. I don't recall him covering it, but it looks like he removed some of the plastic from the motor arm webs. Of course there is no top cover, so it's open to the elements. He also removed the heat sinks and claimed it would not be a problem provided you got the rotors turned-up within 3 minutes. He didn't show a good look at the battery after some serious plastic removal. It appeared to be affixed to the aircraft by plastic or rubber bands.
