[QUOTE="Sparkbart, post: 7700, member: 652"] Were you keeping track of details other than what was listed? No offense to anyone thats had a problem but IMO, just saying/listing the Spark just shut off and with/without remote really isn't helpful. IMO, thats like saying; "My car doesn't run". What does that mean? Did you have gas in your tank, Was your Battery Dead? Did you put the key in the ignition? Did you put it in gear? etc.... I think there is a lot of other info which I believe would be helpful and maybe already saved off in the Spark's Flight Controller; How much battery did you have? Did you do any calibrations? Did you have all positive messages displayed, no Errors or Warnings? How was the Atmospheric Weather? What was the KP index? Were you flying next in dense Wifi area? Were you flying in the city with tall buildings blocking signal? How many flight did you have? Are you an experienced Pilot? etc... There is so much more info that may help find the root cause of this issue. I don't think unless people were to give you more data or you were there you can't say with any certainty that it wasn't a battery attachment failure, Signal issue, or even Pilot Induced. Early on with my Typhoon H, some people were complaining about their H's shutting off mid-flight, no power. These people swore up and down they were properly installing the battery, but in fact were not. After some PSAs on ensuring that people were snapping them in, you never read about that problem again (not saying this is the same issue, just an example). And if it is Pilot Induced, then maybe its something DJI needs to address in its documentation so people don't make that mistake. Again, I'm NOT saying there isn't a problem or potential problem, believe me the last thing I want is to be someone that says; "me too, my Spark just shut off mid-flight", BUT I also don't want to be falsely alarmed IF there is no real issue.
