Take your time and build your confidence. Make sure the home point is recorded on the map before take off with a strong GPS signal, ensure the compass is working properly too and keep the drone in line of sight at all times and you will be fine. Flyaways are mainly caused by flyers rushing through the preflight checks and flying too far around areas with high interference. And sorry to say but there is one thing that will stop you going too far LOL - the FAA! You must maintain VLOS of the drone - typically no more than 500m from you or, if caught, you could face a heavy fine or worse but yes, in the States I've seen experienced flyers take the Spark out to 2 miles away!

Yeah, I've not let it out of sight yet. Two miles though??? I thought with the RC it could only go as far as 1.2miles away?

1.2 miles / 2KM is the advertised limit but it depends on the environmental conditions of the area in which you fly. If you take off in an urban area you'll be lucky to get 1000 feet but in an open area away from anything living you can reach distances that will easily surpass the listed max range. 1,640 feet / 500m should be set as your limit though to be safe and 120m / 393 feet vertical - the latter is an absolute must!

I see. That's all good to know. I went ahead and set my metrics to Imperial, so I have a better idea of distances and most of all height.
