[QUOTE="Ophidia Snaketongue, post: 39269, member: 4719"] The other day, I crashed my Spark in a mind-bogglingly stupid way, and I thought it would be interesting to see if people dare confess their own dumb drone mistakes for us all to learn from. So, here's my stupid mistake. I was flying my Spark at dusk, to show it to a friend who was curious about it. It was dark enough that the Spark was holding position purely by GPS, rather than visual positioning, and it drifted quite a bit as one would expect. At one point, it drifted right up to me and nearly hit me, and without thinking, I made a 'shoo' gesture at the Spark...and whacked it out of the sky while cutting my hand on its props. I broke three propellers and covered my hand with cuts. Thankfully, the poor Spark itself was fine and my hand has healed perfectly well, but this really was a total ID-ten-T error, I think! So, what things have you done with your drone that made you think 'Well, that was really stupid of me.' Let's hear your stories! [/QUOTE]
