Hey all, I got my spark this christmas and am excited to fly it. However, there was just a light snow fall (just deep enough that you you could still see the tips of the grass through it) and I wanted to fly my drone out still but I’m not sure if it’s worth it. Should I try it now or wait until better conditions come or the snow melts?
Thanks

I fly mine when there is snow on the ground and I know others do as well. I would definitely make sure you have a dry, snow free landing surface though.

How cold was it when you guys were flying? It snowed an inch last night and the temperature is low like 30F and falling into the 16F range. I wanted to fly sparky but was afraid that the cold would screw up the batteries and flight performance.

Just make sure the spot you take off and land is clean and dry. I've flown in the snow several times.
