[QUOTE="gisdowntime, post: 123781, member: 23183"] My Spark was returned to me safely! A local group was doing a river cleanup and spotted the aircraft about 10’ from the banks safely perched in tall brush just outside of my search radius. I can’t believe how fortunate I am! The aircraft had successfully completed an emergency landing that kicked in when the battery hit 20%. I’m attaching a photo the guy sent me when he found it. The crazy part is the way he found me was looking on the sd card and referencing the images gps to property tax records. Once he had my name he looked me up on Facebook and saw my public community post about it missing. It’s always pleasant to find good people out there in the world who will not even take a reward offer. Some final thoughts on this guys. The location where the drone was recovered was about 875’ off from where the logs showed it landed. Am I correct in assuming that this due to the yaw error and abnormal compass error reported in the logs? And last, does anyone know if Spark’s are water proof? During the 3 weeks it sat in the brush in normal landing/take off position it was rained on quite extensively. I’m afraid to try and power it up. I may error on the side of putting it in a bag of rice for a few days 1st unless I can get confirmation that these are sealed devices. [/QUOTE]
