    Quality control problems at Yuneec??!

    Maybe I just got connected to the wrong person, job's worth pass the buck and not a **** given. Still could have been worse, the drone may have stopped and fallen on something or someone. Lucky no one hurt and no damage to property, I'm much more careful where I fly now. And it's stopped twice...

    Longer flight times by different Prop's ?

    Interesting topic, here is what i tried with my Q500 4k, Standard Props lasted about 20-21 mins from a full change, but the drone fell from the sky, just stopped mid flight, I called yuneec who didn't seem to care was left very dissappointed, anyways that not the point of this post. So my drone...

    Yuneec Sucks, Everything About Them Sucks

    Thank you for the advice, I've checked esc's, motors and even had it flying since, the damage to be repaired is purely aesthetic now. BTW I never said they built junk, but I certainly could call out of couple of cheap parts that they could improve on, the lock latch being one especially if it's...

    Yuneec Sucks, Everything About Them Sucks

    It was still locking, seemed fine most of the time. I'd even ordered a new one but it hadn't arrived, now also new landing gear, and new propellers, so the whole repair will likely cost me under 30GBP, it's not the price/money that's the issue. It the fact that my unit fell and the lack of...

    Q500 fell from the sky

    Shockingly Yuneec do not seem to be interested at all in the issue, they simply passed on the contact details for the UK office so I could get a quote for repair. (A repair for damage done because their unit did not operate as is should have!) So disappointed in their lack of any concern. As...

    Yuneec Sucks, Everything About Them Sucks

    I'm very disappointed in Yuneec, I had a q500 drone that simply fell from the sky, Went out with 60% charge and dropped from 30ft within 4mins immediately after one warning. Yuneec CS don't appear to be interested in why. I suspect the cheap door latch lock and the battery working loose while...

    Q500 fell from the sky

    I completely agree with the switch, although mine felt quite positive. All great suggestions here. Looking inside my unit, it all looks fine, but once stressed in the air, it's impossible to tell what happens inside. Sadly my confidence in the unit has gone and still no response from yuneec on this.

    Q500 fell from the sky

    Thanks NRR' Thankfully I did stay failrly close, and mostly over green. Kinda thought 60% would be 12-15mins, but not so in my case and there was no 2nd warning, it went straight to critical. No landing and turned off in the sky!!!! No card in ST10, I did have the card, but didn't sadly start...

    Q500 fell from the sky

    i'm a new user, but took it very easy to get to know the drone, a few very short flights, some images, some videos, all was going so well. It must have been my 7th outing, battery showed 60% charge, up it went and within 3mins the controller shook with a critical level warning. I immediately...
