By the way, this is with the latest firmware as of the date of this post, and using the RC.
After reading through the thread in more detail, I find it strange that mine seems to have attempted to recover, and remained powered on after crashing. I still had a video feed. Perhaps I was a bit luckier due to the height of my flight? I have no way to prove this but my Spark definitely SEEMS to have powered the motors back up during the fall. Or maybe, by pure luck, it fell in just such a way that it kind of did a self-leveling "auto-rotation" as the wind pushed up through the props.
I've wondered too if heat has something to do with some of the issues. I was flying at a lake recently, when the temperatures were high (still within spec range, but definitely on the high side). During flight I lost RC and video contact. Fortunately it was still very close, and connection was restored after a minute. I immediately started flying back to me, when it lost all connection again. It restored again, and I was able to land safely.
I didn't complain to DJI about it, I assumed that since I was flying at the top end of the temp range, that the radio in the drone stopped operating intermittently.
