Sent the Spark out to greet the sunrise last Saturday. It was a cloudy day, but seemed clear enough while scanning the ocean in front of my house. I took off from my balcony, slammed the thing in S-mode and zipped off to the East to get her over the water. Over the water, I slipped her back into P-GPS and spent a few minutes taking bracketed exposures as the sun peered from behind the clouds. Happy with my shots, I turned the Spark around to see if I could get any interesting shots of my house. And there it was.
A big cloud was looming BEHIND my house, dumping rain on a ridiculously small footprint. And the winds were pushing it slowly towards my house. A few choice 4 letter words slipped from between my lips, and instinct took over. I slammed the right stick forward... and the spark starts moseying along at 10kph / 6mph. Argh. I try to get my fat thumb on the mode switch and slam her back into S-mode and zip on back to my balcony. Landed her just as the rain started to fall. Sometimes you get lucky.

Even with a humble little Spark.
