    My Typhoon H won’t land

    There is something wrong with the barometer/accelerometer hardware. Does not appear to be catastrophic, H does come down VERY slowly. Unnerving though. Mine was replaced, new one is fine so far. Height readings still erratic, but it comes down fine. Haven't done much testing though, only 3...

    My Typhoon H won’t land

    As can be expected in a lower quality barometer or altimeter, and there is no temperature compensation, there will be a wide range of inaccuracy. The Tyhoon H altimeter seems quite inaccurate, but probably good enough for this purpose - have seen variances of 15ft from actual on the replacement...

    My Typhoon H won’t land

    So another test revealed the replacement H sitting at -10ft (according to readout - actually sitting at +3ft for testing), and it went down and landed fine. So the assumption of negative height readings preventing it from descending is wrong. It's a combination of factors - to be determined!

    My Typhoon H won’t land

    There is something we don't understand about the Yuneec design on altitude management. If the issue we are experiencing is intended (don't descend if at 0ft ie. ground level), how do you fly into canyons below ground level after take off (when it resets to 0)? Can you? If so, is there some...

    My Typhoon H won’t land

    That's not right. The same height issue as my replaced H. It should land (standard setup)

    My Typhoon H won’t land

    Feedback as promised - replacement H tested and fine. Now watching altimeter closely and height shown does increase as quad gets warmer (sun, battery, motors), which causes altimeter indication to slowly creep upwards (not rapidly like faulty one). This is expected as hotter air is thinner and...

    My Typhoon H won’t land

    Next question is - why so many issues with barometric sensor (this is my view also, faulty pressure sensor - faulty accelerometer will show up in other areas too)

    My Typhoon H won’t land

    Someone else advised not being in turtle mode. I don't fly in turtle, but I wasn't at max hare either. As mentioned it is also inconsistent, does not always repeat itself. Happened on my 1st and 4th flights, 2nd and 3rd flights were opposite, came down hard. There must be a reason why mine was...

    My Typhoon H won’t land

    Wonder what the issue is - have asked but no reply yet. Am an experienced flier (all RC including helis), and set up and checked everything before flying the H. First one was faultless - everything went well including RTH testing, obstacle avoidance etc. Very happy with performance so I bop a...

    My Typhoon H won’t land

    Had the same problem, 1st flight with h2 (have 2, 1st is h1, h1 no issue) and it gets stuck at 30ft, does not want to descend. RTH does not make it come down. Altitude stick down made it go UP a little every time. Altitude read -ve even though it was 30+ft up. Unnerving. Eventually figured out...
