[QUOTE="rhettduke, post: 111190, member: 13647"] I am no expert....just constantly experiencing flight....and yes unintended crashes. spark was my first “real drone” purchased on a late night WalMart run for groceries....November 2018 In December of 2018 bought a Phantom 4 Pro V2 November of 2019 I bought 2 Mavic minis. One regular package...one with the Flymore kit. Buying 2 was unintended but I had a pre order commitment and followed through. Jan 2020 I added a Mavic 2 and a Flymore kit. All of these later purchases are for birds with far greater capability’s range and camera wise compared to the Spark. Airdata says I have 93 hours flight time and 641 logged miles. 717 Total flights. Spark logs show 69 hours flight time and 349 logged miles. 533 Total flights. Phantom 4 shows 29 hours and 267 miles. 175 Total flights. Mavic Mini bird 1 shows 38mins 41 seconds for 4 miles. 2 flights. Mavic 2 ...1 hour 30 minutes 20 miles ....7 flights. Dont rip me up...its unfair to compare the Mavics considering I got them less than 3 months ago to numbers of birds I have had over a year...also consider it has been monsoon season here most of the time I had the Mavics. I started back flying last week...2 Mavic 2 flights...hard landing...pilot error , making most of a bad or worse outcome and I have a compromised front right leg.... Spark...8 flights....one crash into oak tree at 45 ft...after analyzing data...it was on a battery that had been charged 70 something times....last battery maintenance at 20 flights...I believe that’s why it went into critical battery landing faster that normal for me...Pilot error...Pilot didn’t do maintenance. Spark fell and landed on its back...fresh battery and back to .8 to 1.1 miles from my back yard without a compass or IMU calibration. Enough of all that.... Bottom line is I respect and own multiple birds...I don’t sell anything. The Spark is / was the best starter craft out there in my humble opinion. Time has shown its still a lot of bang for the buck.
