    So can I buy the Intel RealSense Module for my original H ?

    There is a flying socket lead that resides in the main LED pod. I bet this is for RealSense and IPS module. And ... I can see two fixing holes on the underside of the fuselage. RealSense will need IPS but IPS will not need RealSense. Price and When ? My guess $300 When: At...

    how to twist the camera so it goes in the foam box

    The camera needs to be pointing to the front (exactly) for the H to fit into the foam case. The plastic clip-on cover stops the camera from moving and keeps it facing front. If the H goes in a bit twisted, it is difficult to get it out again.

    how to twist the camera so it goes in the foam box

    You ned to install the plastic cover for the camera. This keeps the camera steady and pointing to the front. The drone will then go into its box easily. Make sure it is fixed snugly. BUT I have had a problem with this as it is very tight to get into the foam box. This is intentional as it is...

    Charging Typhoon H with a Graupner Polaron

    I opened the Yuneec charger and soldered the leads onto the existing adaptor within the box. The photo shows the charge half-way through. Charging at about 90 mAh per minute. Assuming 20% left in the battery, that's about 40 minutes for a full charge. The battery at full charge was barely warm...

    Camera Tilt

    My first "H" had a camera that always very slowly tilted to the left. After about a minute it was at 45 degrees. Totally useless. I contacted Yuneec and they sent a courier to collect it. 4 days later I received a completely new "H". The second time it flew it, the camera tilted 45 degrees quite...

    Typhoon H controller

    The Micro SD slot is for upgrading the firmware of the ST16. (latest available 13-7-2016) The video of the Typhoon H is better than the Q500+ Greetings from sunny Spain.

    Firmware Update

    Firmware update (13-7-2016) available on Yuneec page is well worth the effort. 1. Faster boot-up time. My "H" now shows camera video on the ST16 in 59 seconds. 2. Video play-back facility on the ST16 3. Battery level indication. Keep with the "A" version. Range is better.

    2 week Typhoon H review and I don't understand...

    I bought my first Typhoon H over a month ago. It seemed to have a few minor faults, but after two weeks it finally failed to give me a green LED, instead a multicolour flashing LED. I sent an email to Yuneec (Europe) and they said they would send a courier to collect it. The next day it was...

    Team mode using Wizard and ST16

    I tried the Wizard but didn't think I had any real use for it. I went through the procedure to return to ST16 only, but since then my "H" has not booted up. On the main LED I get BLUE>>>RED >>YELLOW flashing 1 second apart repeatedly.The screen on the ST16 says (LHS) "GPS acquiring" and...

    My charger mod

    Hi Jimmy. This is a bit confusing. Too many colours ! Sent a sketch of what I've done, but I have no way of knowing if it is correct. " What do you reckon ? " " Just plug it in and see what happens ?"

    My charger mod

    Hi Jimmy. Thanks for the instructions for the charger. I am trying to connect mine to my Graupner Polaron, but I am confused. I think the colours are different on my flat white connector. I have (left to right) red yellow blue white black. I think m ground lead is black. It used to be 50...

    Wi fi issues

    It can sometimes take a long time for the camera to join the network. Use a phone or tablet so watch for the wiFi to become available in the available networks. I read that it can take up to 8 minutes in adverse conditions. Mine takes about 2 minutes and that seems a long time when you are...

    Two issues I Have

    Typhoon H Camera.... You must leave 5 seconds between pressing either of the two camera buttons. 5 seconds to change from still to video 5 seconds for vice-versa Both buttons must be pressed only once and rather rapidly. A slow deliberate press will not be accepted. The SD card plays its part...
