Hello everyone,i have a question when flying low over water like at the beach, should i disable bottom sensor or leave them on ?

Actually i tried this 2 days ago. Bottom sensor was on (didn't know you can turn it off ?) The spark flew around 20cm above the waves and would not go any lower, no matter how much i pushed the stick. Had to take care avoiding the bigger waves rolling in ;-) So i would suggest leave it on because otherwise you your spark will become a submarine :-)

You would be better advised to turn off VPS when flying low over water.

i dont think you can turn off vps, can you?

Fly it in Sport Mode - Sensors off apart from GPS.

Sensor may not be turned off.

Only the front sensors for obstacle avoidance. VPS cannot be switched off.

Correct, no "easy" way to turn off the VPS sensor.
