[QUOTE="Heckmaniac, post: 80993, member: 13177"] Yep I panicked and went balls to the wall to get all the way home on the 15K+ ft flight. Problem is once battery hits 12 or 13% it takes it out of sport mode, slows to 12 mph and starts to land. You can overcome the landing by pushing up on the altitude stick, but the speed reduction is what caused me to come up short. Lucky for me there was a small 30ft patch of island in the middle of the creek where the battery gave out. 2 thunderstorms and 5 days later I did a rescue mission (see pic below) and found it buried 3/4 in mud and water and after a week in a baggie of rice and 3 attempts later Spark 1 came back to life and worked good as new until it's unfortunate demise a few months later (another story all together).
