    GPS

    Sorry - didn't have chance to check out until today. Brilliant - all working fine now. Thanks very much. Just in time to video for a friend on Monday.

    GPS

    Sorry, dyslexic fingers. Should be ST16. This is the one with 3 antennas - 2 x rubber duck style and one mushroom style in the middle. (I also have a square one which I do not use)

    GPS

    When H connects to ST12 I can see 14 satellites and GPS shows connected. No problems starting/stoppng motors so could fly but wanted to calibrate compass before taking off. Problem comes when I go to "calibrate". Immediately get a screen message saying GPS has been lost, but still see 14...

    Numerical display for the arms and props....

    I fly large model aircraft and helicopters on which it is essential to balance the propellers/rotor blades. I also use it for my drone blades. You can buy a prop balancer for this on line or at good model aircraft stores. Note that you need static and dynamic balancing to do the job properly -...

    CG03+ and steady grip

    That is exactly the way that I have gone. Can't use the battery bay cover, so used gaffer tape until I could 3D print a new cover. A great tool for doing internal shots for estate agents to add to external aerial video.

    1st flight attempt - Major Mistake!

    I have forgotten so many time to retract the undercarriage and start the video I have had to put 2 labels on the ST16, and STILL I forget, and that is after 2 years of flying the H. :mad:

    First Flight

    Read the manual TWICE ! How may guys ever read the manual ? The saying is "If all else fails, read the manual " :):(

    What to do? Landing gear stuck up!!

    I regularly catch the H by the u/c leg when flying over long grass by hovering over head height, reach up and take hold of the leg while cutting the power. When you get hold of the leg, the rotors tend to power up and get away, and as they stop, the whole thing flops to one side. I have found...

    Fly away and other issues

    I agree with just about everything said above. Flying H Pro now for almost 2 years and did have one issue flying in a large hanger got into trouble and damage the camera. On discussion with Yuneec problem was caused by GPS so be warned, if flying indoors where you have intermittent GPS signal...

    CGOET Thermal

    As an inveterate modeller I fully understand and agree where you are coming from and how things are set up, however as a commercial business (Caledonia Drone Services) I do not have the time to build and fettle equipment as I used to do with my aircraft. It would be a big advantage to me to be...

    CGOET Thermal

    I also fly aircraft - my transmitter is bound to 9 different models with no need to re-bind - all settings are retained so can fly glider, stunt plane, helicopter and Vortex 250 racing drone by selecting the model on the transmitter.

    CGOET Thermal

    Been using the ET for a week now very successfully. From 30M AGL found three black cows under trees in complete darkness with no ambient light. Also located a terrier in long grass in a field. Could not be found visually. The temperature reading is in the centre, but there is a colour scale on...

    NEW UPDATE - STALLED! Drone updated but won't read card to update ST16

    I had a similar problem updating the ST16 and my H. The only way was to use an SD card that has no data whatsoever except the firmware file. Format an SD card, load the update file, put it into the ST16 and it will update no problem. Do the same with the H and that will also update no problem...
