    LiPo Battery Danger - You should read this!

    Two days later after flying, batteries measured 52%, with breeze connected, but static. Upon takeoff (flying to hoover), battery measured 14%. Seems a good battery recovers some voltage even when discharged to 14%. Now upon placing in charger, red light flashes and it charges. My earlier comment...

    So do we have a problem? Drones that 'fly away'

    Wonder what percentage of Breeze flyers have issues, There must be a heck off a lot of Breeze birds out there. Followed this forum since it started and see all kinds of control issues. No doubt the many versions of Android are a main contributor to the issue. I haven't seen many comments about...

    Do you plan to get another drone?

    Been researching potential new drone for 10 months. DJI products out because of tight control they retain for the drone you buy and own! Autel looked good, but they discontinued their XStar models! Forthcoming 'Evo', looks great but no actual release date. Wish Yuneec would bring out a fold able...

    Should I upgrade software?

    Been flying my breeze since October 2016. with zero problems. Using an IPhone 6. (IOS 10.3.3) Breeze Software version is 1.0.8.1. Since I don't want to screw up a working system, what would be the advantage of bothering to update the software?

    connect controller directly to iPhone?

    While researching Spark Discussion page, noticed one guy tied the controller directly into his iPhone with a cable. sounds like this eliminated his Bluetooth link between the controller and his phone. Anyone know if this would work with Breeze controller/phone? One issue I see is Spark...

    Good Bye To Breeze... Hello to ?

    Better check that drone's discussions site. Thought about buying one myself, but logged on to their discussion site. One person described exactly the same problems he had with android hookup, as with the Breeze complaints. Think either one suffers from the same problem. Drones are OK...

    wifi workaround for connecting breeze to iphone

    On iPhone 6, go to 'settings', 'WI-FI' 'choose a network' 'click Other'. If breeze is on you should see the Breeze connection.

    Great Drone, terrible controls

    Since October, my Breeze was flying perfect using only my iPhone 6 as the sole controller. The stick controller option worked fine UNTIL! Crashed it and returned to Yuneec Kansas City who promptly fixed it and returned it. Really like the idea of the stick controller and am not ready to condemn...

    One of my batteries went Tango Uniform

    Are there any batteries with a bigger Ah capacity that will directly fit into the existing breeze battery case without modifying the case? Are there better 1150 Ah batteries the same size that would fit into the breeze case?

    How to dispose of a Breeze battery?

    Thanks to FLYXLSA. Guess I'll put it in Salt water solution overnight, then take it to Staples. Battery lasted from October and haven't caused any problems, but noticed it swelling when I tried to re-charge it.

    How to dispose of a Breeze battery?

    Have a Breeze battery that is swelling. Anybody know how I can render the battery safe to dispose of it? Don't want to throw it into a disposal site unless I know it's completely discharged and safe.

    Yuneec Breeze - Phone/Tablet wifi compatibility list

    Using 3 yr old iPhone 6, software version 10.0.2, Breeze software version 10.0.5.6 Hesitant to update any software for 6 -10 months after release, weary about bugs in new software. (Lots of bad experiences on being one of the first to download updates )

    Yuneec Breeze - Phone/Tablet wifi compatibility list

    I have used an iPhone 6 since the gitgo. I have never had any problems losing WIFI even with the latest up grades. I have now used the controller without any problems. I always make sure the controller is fully charged and calibrate the bird before every flight. I do not have any 'notices'...
