    What to do when your TYPHOON H suddenly FLYS AWAY!!!

    That is how I saved mine. The landing sucked but only broke a couple of props. Could have been much worse it was headed for Galveston Bay :)

    FPVLR Antenna

    Had to do that to the ST16 with mine as well. But since they have been flawless. If they can be twisted they can be intermittent. Just remove the lockwasher and be careful not to push the threaded part back into the case and its easy to remedy.

    Companion for my H

    Had to do a slight redesign. The suspension pivot mounted on the plexi flexed it too much and it broke in half on a test run. Hit a hole I couldn't see because of the tall grass. All of a sudden I noticed the back was almost dragging the ground. So now it has an aluminum base and a complete...

    So many Typhoon H's for sale

    I'm selling mine but not because its deficient in any way. Building a much larger one that will handle one of my DLSR's and I can add a computer for experiments. It will lift 9kg. Shooting in manual with raw you can get some excellent results with the camera on the H. Auto mode never works very...

    New CGO3+ Camera from Yuneec!

    Jpeg raw is a raw (dng) digital negative that is compressed but not as much as a jpeg. DNG has no compression so if you are going to do any grading post shoot that is the one to use. To me a compressed dng isn't much better than a regular jpeg. But every time you compress you loose information...

    Telemetry Issue Antennas and Sun Shield for the H

    I bought the backpack Carolina Drones has for 70 bucks. Fits perfectly. They have grey and black. A guy that was flying with us last night had the actual hard backpack for his H. Wonder why they discontinued that one. I was a nice piece. New product launches are **** for the employees. No...

    Telemetry Issue Antennas and Sun Shield for the H

    Delving into the telemetry files and found there is always a zero reading for amps. Noticed it when I uploaded some files to exmaps.com and the amp reading was flat. Discussed this with exmaps support and they told me what to look for in the actual telemetry file to verify if it was a mistake on...

    IF YOU CURRENTLY OWN AN H YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR REAL SENSE

    After reading Yuneec propaganda on the realsense I think this is the basic kit they are using from Intel. Its probably a cut down custom version as this one runs linux and is set up for development. However its the same processor and all that Yuneec says is in their Realsense offering. I hope it...

    Camera mounting block different

    Yea its an H. I had to replace it because the little rail broke. Camera was hanging a little crooked so I checked it out. Flew twice today before the sky looked a little too dark. Not a bit of trouble it flew great all day.

    Loss WiFi

    Yea that could be it drawing a little too much current and making the radio weak. Does the gear move freely? If it sticks it will cause it to draw more current.

    Loss WiFi

    Funny you should say it happens when you raise the landing gear. I watched a video the other day about putting different antenna's on the H. Looked for the two little antenna wires on mine and one was sitting right on the metal part of the landing gear. Maybe this is why the wifi is cutting out...

    Camera mounting block different

    Received the camera mount block the other day. The rubber cushions are longer and fit much better now. The ends you push through the plastic are thicker and harder to pull out now. Give you the proper clearance between the top of the gimbal and the block. One issue is the two keeper pins seem to...

    Correct me if I'm wrong about realsense ?

    It makes a map so yea its gonna know what its passed over. Read up on slam-gmapping that is how depth cams do their thing. Basically works by laying down a checkerboard over the terrain and each box is marked clear or occupied as the map is made.
