    Typhoon H Operational Ceiling?

    Just completing a UK CAA form and cannot find the Typhoon H spec operational ceiling info from any manual or website. Only can find height preset of 122 metres. Anyone any idea.

    H520 training

    There are plenty of companies that will prepare you for CAA Pfco accreditation. I used Resource Group who were local to me - they were very good. The professional body ARPAS can give you advice.

    Orientation Assist

    I have the very bright white Strobon flashing light mounted on the front above the camera mount to give me confirmation of orientation.

    Thinking of Buying a 920

    This is wonderful information contained in the last few posts. Ace you are the first Tornado operator I have found who has given a meaningful analysis of this machine. 4k shooting in proper 4k quality with my present H flying features is very good news indeed. If the reliability of the Tornado...

    power failure during flight

    I'm only looking used because there are a few good ones around. I still wonder how many are out there as unless thousands have been sold and everyone is happy forum traffic is just above zero.

    Yep this is what I use either whilst flying or driving between jobs.

    It's been forever...may sell my H Pro

    My shelves are full of self built machines that have been great as a way of learning about the workings of a uav. Interestingly I presume by luck have never experienced the various anomalies of factory built models. Pixhawk and WKM have been great controllers - funny how Pixhawk is back in its...

    power failure during flight

    I think hanging on is what is all about. I'm now thinking of putting a Tarot 10x Camera/Gimbal on my home built Pixhawk 3DR Y6 for inspections and will use the H for more critical picture quality jobs. Perhaps even get a used 920+?

    My last Yuneec experience

    I am no engineer but removing the leg and cleaning the connections would seem to be a good starting point before making final judgement. Someone on here has posted about this occurence. There is a Youtube video about sorting out the LG as well.

    My last Yuneec experience

    What do you mean by failed? It may just be the contacts in which case removing,cleaning connectors and replacing may be all that is needed to rectify your fault. Before jumping ship do have a read on other forums to check that the grass is truly greener on the other side. I run two well...

    Thinking of Buying a 920

    I thought of going for a 920+ but forum activity is almost zero. I got the impression that they must have sold half a dozen or so. It looks a good machine and the CGO4 must produce superb pictures. I was hoping that the H520 with E90 would meet the bigger machine in many respects - I'm not yet...

    E50 / E90

    Surely apart from the E50 aimed at structural inspections at a short distance any aerial camera should have the distant horizon in focus for general work. The CGO3+ had factory set up issues and then started using a non screwthread mount! Are they putting more care into the new cameras...

    Typhoon H flying sideways and not stick response

    I had an H that did exactly the same as yours - a new GPS unit solved the problem.
