One of My Most Expensive Mistakes Ever!

HeavyDSparks usually gets a fraction of this much attention in a day: daily views have climbed to around 1.2 million, more than five times his usual pace. Alongside that jump, his latest upload has passed a million views with a flying-machine purchase that went wrong.

In "One of My Most Expensive Mistakes Ever!", Dave Sparks takes a chance on a human-sized drone. His description gives the sequence plainly: he bought it, trusted it enough to climb inside, and it flew before crashing. Afterward, he meets a close friend with what Sparks describes as a better option.

That is a different kind of machinery problem for a channel whose enduring hits include recovering deeply stuck excavators, dozers and a school bus. Getting something moving is familiar territory; trusting a purchase to carry you into the air adds another consideration.

The drone upload also follows an underground excursion. In "We Crawled Into a Tiny Cave… What We Found Was UNREAL!", Sparks trades the cockpit for tight passages and mineral formations, entering a mountain cavern through a small opening spotted from the air.
