I don't see why this is a problem, I know that this is not the way it is coded right now and I also know the AC can be flown in ATTI.
Altough I believe that the typical Spark user is not always prepared to do so (and DJI should know that)
Hi Matioupi, we are not far apart in the way we are thinking, and I agree with a lot of what you say.
First we must be responsible for how we take care of our AC and how and where we fly our AC. However if there is a Quality Control issue then we are basically pis*ing into the wind, if this is the case with some spark AC then I feel it's a small number, but can become somewhat exaggerated when other s crash and see there problem the same as those with genuine problem.
I do think dji take feedback from these forums they would be fools not to, but changes coming direct from feedback will take some time.
Regarding which would be best dropping gps or dropping compass , I'm sure it's worth debating and some testing I'm sure could be done, but I'm sure if dji were testing such different methods and better safety redundancies then this would be kept very secret.
I'm sure dji are always looking at improving safety and redundancy in their AC, we can see this with other new AC like Mavic and phantom which now have redundant Imu and compass.
I agree flying with Phone virtual sticks make it very difficult to fly in any other modes except gps, and some oversight on dji's thinking leaves little to be desired, I don't see the point with such capability that Spark has why they would offer the option of using phone wifi to control and I believe it was a mistake to sell Spark without RC, if they had have sold with RC only they then could have offered using phone but only allowing it to fly 20 m x 15 m, and this would be a much safer option.
As regards to brownian flight, I bow to your superior knowledge, I have heard of it once in flight school but only in passing , I must read up on this soon.
Recovering in Atti , it's very rare to recover if compass is the problem, I suppose the best chance maybe to fly higher and maybe God will help, loosing gps on its own is usually recovered by simply finding open sky and increasing altitude, being at higher altitude in VLOS is always much easier to manage Atti.
I think in the near future we will see many changes in this technology and safety and redundancy will be improving all the time, let's hope it's sooner rather than later.
Good luck. |
