[QUOTE="RCnerd, post: 16591, member: 3029"] [ATTACH]1569[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1570[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1571[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1572[/ATTACH] Well, it JUST happened!... I was trying to get some sunset shots by my house. I was hovering about 50’ off the ground... got my shots, flipped it into sport mode to just play around a bit before going inside... pushed the stick forward, flew around in a circle, then let off the stick, it pitched back as if to ‘brake’ and... it blacked out and dropped like a stone 50’ to the pavement!

DJI Spark f/w ver. 01.00.0600 **i tested it just for a minute, in a safe environment of course... it powered up, hovered 4ft AGL normally, but I will of course not fly it anymore due to the obvious damage to the body.
