Newbe here, Is it safe to switch between P and S modes while in flight ? Should I be in hover during the switch or can I switch while flying forward ?
Switching to Sport Mode

Until you get use to the Spark I would suggest making the switch from your home point
Be carefull when you are in Sport mode and you have the prop guards mounted!
Short movements at high speed and a little help from the wind can give you a tilted Spark, and this results in shut-of engines and crash...

It's cool to be cruising along at full throttle, then hit the S mode and watch it lurch forward.
Awesome!!
Awesome!!
I actually saw a YT video, doing this on purpose in his backyard, will have to dive in archives...
No, i don't think so, but whitout prop gards i never had such a problem.
If it's at an open space, i would say go ahead and have fun.
If there are people or property nearby, I will advise against it. The sudden change in sensitivity and speed can result in loss of control of aircraft resulting in injury.
Agreed. Just have an open space and you'll be fine. Understand how you have to handle it as it stops and turns. It's fun!!
Did it this week! Luckily my Spark landed in the grass. I wasn’t recording because I’ve found videos in sport mode to be (generally) worthless. Man is it fun though!
