I had a duck attack once and I thought its a good story!! THIS is a great story!

Thanks for the idea of the getter back. But what about water damage to the drone? Is it really worth it to pick it up if it was already immersed in water?

Flew both batteries down to 30%. Got around 8-9 min on each. Tests the cells on both and they are all 3.7v

For follow up purposes: Made the USB a charger and followed DoomMeister diagram and instructions (can’t thank him and Scott enough! Took almost 5 min for each cell to bring each to 3.5v. Now charging fine in the Yuneec charger. Post charge each cell is at 4.2v Will try to fly it out today...

hey guys, silly question, but where do I get pins to attach to the tips of the USB wire (would any pins do or are there special pins for electric connections??)

Hi Scott You are correct on your recap. The battery that went bad was sitting in the charger. The other battery was inside the drone. (If I hear you right then next time for storage I should fully charge the batteries then take them off any contact and just store them like this, right?) Now...

Hello again, here are the test results, Remember that now I have two batteries. I treat both the same way, did not run down below 20% and charged both normally 3 weeks or so ago, and now I end up with one that is no longer charging and one that is still good. Battery 1 (normal charging...

Thanks guys, I ran the first battery too low and then learned my lesson, I bring it down and shut completely by 20% (never gone below 10%) then I usually charge to full and download the pics/videos. I charge again to full beofre storage but I lost two batteries to that. I'll stop by home depot...

Thanks guys, as ever, you are hitting the nail on the head. I am a first time drone owner, with no experience with batteries and electricity. I am frustrated with the breeze batteries, this is the third one that goes blinking blue on me and stops charging.. like Scott asked: -why is this...

Hello, Just to follow up and conclude this thread, I contacted Yuneec and was advised to start a repair request, return the drone for inspection and then a decision on wether its covered under warranty or not will be made. the return process was easy, I did not hear from Yuneec for around 3...

HI Scott, thanks for the analysis, I did not recalibrate after the first warning, so I think the take home messages as you said are: 1) move far far away from interference 2) calibrate compass 3) keep you hand on the emergency landing button 4) pray to all the gods you can think of! (Horus...

Thanks everyone for the input, it was an open area with not so many trees, but as Doommeister predicted, there were concrete and a metal fence, I assure you Scott, this was not a pilot error, there were no further warnings either after I moved away from concrete, but once the Breeze took off...

Hello, I had a few really good flights with the breeze since I bought it a month ago, this was my sixth flight. started the day with one full battery flight that went as smooth as can be, then changed location and changed the battery, initially I was on a concrete trail and got a "magnetic...

i see, I jumped from a 6 to the X. so I have no idea what the 7 can do

possibly, 4k will take more processing power I guess
