[QUOTE="Spark 317, post: 121256, member: 894"] I'll throw in my fuzzy math. With 64% battery at 108 feet up in Atti-mode, if the wind was blowing to the NE, the Spark may have drifted up to two miles away drifting 19 feet per second with the reaming battery time of approximately 9.75 minutes left. The Spark should maintain the altitude but drift with the wind until the battery gets low enough to self land. It could have reestablished a GPS lock somewhere along the way and tried to make it back home but couldn't make it and self landed. Or it drifted at 108 feet until it hit something 109 feet tall along the way.
