yep, baby steps with the tests but all ok.Great news Brian! Thanks for the update.
1st time ever for me... the Spark was a used model 'sold as seen' and I believe it was a faulty build, easily remedied in this case by just helping it turn by hand and then running it thro' a few batteries inside at the hover.How often do spark motors freeze up?
Sounds to me like it is unsafe to fly anywhere there are people ! If it freezes up again it could possibly land on people or property such as cars etc. it should be grounded until a new motor is installed!1st time ever for me... the Spark was a used model 'sold as seen' and I believe it was a faulty build, easily remedied in this case by just helping it turn by hand and then running it thro' a few batteries inside at the hover.
each to their own chousehold4... Sorry if you mistake my attitude as careless... I take great care of my tech. As a Mechy in a previous life I learnt to build, strip, rebuild, test and retest equipment. Nothing is 100% infallible... nothing is without risk. I measure and minimise risk everyday as a person who values life and loved ones, inc my fav' tech.Sounds to me like it is unsafe to fly anywhere there are people !

you were doing so well until you decided to end with an exclamation!Let be be clear ! I was not trying to insult you in any way nor was I talking about your safety while riding motorcycles and all the other daring things you do , I was just pointing out that safety first when operating a drone is a good practice drones and drone operators are being chastised for being operated in reckless manor! Your safety is your choice endangering the safety of others is not!
