[QUOTE="Spark 317, post: 111617, member: 894"] Hello from the Hoosier Heartland [URL='https://sparkpilots.com/members/cdubskyfly.20108/']CdubSkyfly[/URL]. First, follow the instructions from [URL='https://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/Upload/']DJI Flight Log Viewer | Phantom Help[/URL] so that we can see the flight log and possibly see what went wrong during the flight. I checked the [URL='https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/usa/temple/historic'][B][I]weather for your area[/I][/B] [/URL]and it looks like the wind was blowing to the south and east in the afternoon. That is where you should look since the Spark went into Atti-Mode during the flight and was at the mercy of the wind. I'm guessing you probably had about six minutes of battery left and with the wind speed from zero up to 18 mph, the Spark could have floated away a little over 1.5 miles away depending on the time of day. Since the app said "Landing", it probably landed somewhere further than the nieghbors yard indicated on your map. Look in the trees, roofs, etc. and put up some lost and found flyers around the neighborhood. If the Spark was registered with the FAA (which it should be), law enforcement should be able to find you if it was found and turned in. I have my information printed on a label and a text file on the SD card should somebody find it. Here's a possible search area?
