[QUOTE="Mikel Manitius, post: 9963, member: 1775"] I went through your calculus and decided on the spark and am very happy with it. I did buy the fly more combo plus two extra batteries ("fly more" is a silly name when it only includes 1 more battery). The size and relative ease of palm launching it are some of the things that attracted me. I will tell you that even 4 batteries at first felt very short for me. The 10-14 min of flying time you get on a battery feels very short, and at first you want to fly all of the time. If you have a place to fly where you have easy access to mains electricity to recharge (i.e. like a big back yard) then great. But since I live in Class D airspace and lots of trees and in the US we have ugly power lines everywhere, I had to go to a big field about 15 minutes drive and there is no way to recharge there. I highly recommend that you get an OTG cable. That RC to phone WiFi connection is terrible and a terrible idea. I've only had it for two weeks and already went to the mountains and did a flight to 1.1 km away and back. That was a bit stressful but I brought it back just fine with over 45% battery left.
