Hi! I recently bought the spark and have only flown it via the phone. I have the iphone X. About mid flight the wifi connection disconects from the phone. I quickly went to wifi settings and the wifi was now connected to a wifi network near me. I switched it back to "spark wifi" and was able to fly the spark back to me and land safely. I changed batteries and flew again and it did the same thing. Is there a way to get the spark and phone wifi to stay connected? I was only a few hundred feet away both times

The spark was probably out of range and the iphone automatically connected to another known network.
You can either go farther away from that network or disable automatic connection to it.
I don’t know it you can switch the spark to 2.4GHz without the radio controller. That might extend the range.

Hi, sir. Please note that if you connect your spark with phone, you can only fly 100 m. I would recommend you use RC to fly your spark for better range. Thanks for your support.
