[QUOTE="Kevin Kirby, post: 51056, member: 6149"] 2. Like all insurance, its only worth it if you need to use it. I didn't buy it, I've had my spark 6 months, and have not broken the drone. (Knock on wood)! 3. If you abide by the LOS rule, range will never be a problem. If you need a number, 1 kilometer is a solid answer. I think you would have no problem with 1.5 km, and even 2 km is possible but I would start expecting a disconnection. I think the farthest I've been was around 1.7 km, but I was standing on the roof of my house, and it RTH upon disconnection. 4. I don't consider the RC an accessory, its standard. Don't expect to use the drone without it. Extra batteries and a charging bank is a good choice. Also a good hardshell case. And I love the bracket that holds my RC and iPad on a strap for my neck! 5. This is even a thing? Its never happened to me. 6. I agree, Wi-Fi connection is the weakest part of the UAS. It frequently drops out for a second or two during flight, but has never failed to pick back up in less than 3 seconds. What annoys me more is video lag. The OTG helped with that in the beginning, but now I can't tell much difference. Overall, it always works well enough to use the drone, but isn't perfect. On the other hand, its only $500!! For that price its incredible. 8. No. You will not be able to use this to film yourself water skiing for a number of reasons. I think you can easily film someone else water skiing, so if you have a camera man, this drone may serve your purpose. [/QUOTE]
