Hello all, just wanting to start a post to express my fun when flying my tiny Spark!! Here is a short summary: - I have been flying RC models in the last 25 years including competitions for gliders (and winning some of them:-)
- I am mastering all kind of RCs including helis and enjoy to build aircrafts including some T-Rex
- Recently I have started Paragliding and now all comes together!
So I bought a Spark combo, started hoovering in my flat, took it outside and what to say: GREAT!!! Thinking back a few years a RTH button was something from the miracle box and I climbed some trees to get down the RCs of my dad (who could build RC but not really fly them ;-). So finally, I am really impressed by this little "toy" and just wanted to start a wish list (If someone from Dij forum read this) from a long RC experience: - Receiver, is from my point of view mandatory, so please don’t sell Spark without it. If possible change the wheel for the gimbal from horizontal to vertic (this would be more natural)
- I have tested OTG cable and its really a positive thing without having that much of interferences (I am PhD electronical engineering so should know what I am talking about)
- Flight time is really ok considering the size and weight. Taking off the prop guards gave me 2 minutes more
- Sound is ok but maybe Dij will release some low noise props as for Mavic. I will be one of the first buy
So Final thanks a lot for this great forum (especially the nonprofessionals like Wachtberger or hallmark007) who give REAL usefull input. PS: I will be traveling around Europe for one year starting April and will hopefully shoot some descent footages with the Spark :-) |
