[QUOTE="MyLittleDrony, post: 17815, member: 2690"] Like i said above, I have loaded my new spark with 90-100 grams and it did not like it. The motors were hot when i got it down, I had motor warning errors and I had a scary moment where control seemed compromised. So despite the above video showing it lifting more, there is a HUGE difference between it hovering in a garden with at max weight and it being flown as you would expect to in the real world. Unless the additional lipo and adapter are less than 60g (doubtful) I would not go there. There is scope for taking weight off the Spark if you're ambitious and into this stuff, maybe adding stiffer props would also help in which case, if you can shave off 50g-75g stock, you could in theory add 100g-125g in total and still retain a decent handling drone. However, If flight time is that important to you, you should really look into putting the spark on a diet and just keeping the stock setup, it will look tidier, save you money and be less hassle/ safer. I think you could shave 50g off a spark and that would give you 2-3 minutes more which is quite a lot really. That is the smart way to get more time. Everything else will end in tears. [/QUOTE]
