Some pics too

Nice save! any damage to the props?

Great pictures! Please check carefully if there is any damage in your spark.

That was a near mis. Did you have the prop guards in place ?

When did you give it a bath ? Lol. Hope you recovered it.

No prop guards. I've never used them. No damage to the props. It was about 1500 feet away from me when it happened and I flew it back no problem.

it was a tree fail, not drone fail! )

Haha. Not sure I agree. It was probably just an operator FAIL. But the Spark saved my ass and didn't fall in the creek.

Nice shots despite the minor crash mate - hope the drone is OK

It's all good. Barely shook it. It's a tough little guy.

The Spark is very robust - good to hear mate

bold piloting and cool location - that will be a beauty spot when spring (eventually maybe) arrives for real. off now myself, to capture this snowy April 2 hundreds of miles south of MN.

Nice video. But: It wasn't a drone fail, Captain ;-)

Loved seeing the cloud shadows on the ground. Lovely footage. Glad you were able to fly your Spark back after that little mishap.

SEVEN, yes you're right. More of a piloting fail. Not sure why I didn't see that stick until it was too late.
Tervil, the cloud shadows were very cool. Funny what you notice from the sky that's not visible from the ground.

Nice footage, and nice saved...;-) good piloting skills

cool vid. liked the ending. lucky you :-)

Lucky you....

Thanks for sharing!
