[QUOTE="SPark_South_Oz, post: 121713, member: 17032"] I find temps around 32/34c are fine, that's around 90/93f. Above this, the main 2 issues are drone stress and comfort levels for the pilot, high heat isn't fun for long, and can be dangerous. Over 38c, around 100f, you are hitting near the Spark factory specs for operation. It's just asking for trouble (battery life mostly), and not all that productive for filming / photographing in the heat of the day anyway. Flying for fun, which most of the time this is done in Sports mode (for me at least), and puts a lot more further stress on drone and battery. But then the OP simply couldn't take off anyway, not sure if the Spark could be fired up, or started (?). Best for those higher forecast days is to really just fly at golden / blue hour times of day, which avoid the heat problem in general. [/QUOTE]
