    Compass Calibration Peculiarities

    No.1 I do not intend to load firmware into this drone! Doing so will only create unwanted problems. No.2 Playing "spin the drone " does not work. I have made numerous attempts to follow the YouTube videos that illustrate the compass calibration. None of the attempts have worked. No.3 I get...

    Yuneec Drone Technical Assistance In Trouble

    Hello, Fellow Yuneec Drone Pilots! I just finished reading a posted article that details the troubles facing the makers of Yuneec drones. The gist of the report indicates financial difficulties resulting in massive employee furloughs and layoff of personnel. Apparently, Yuneec USA as well as...

    Compass Calibration Peculiarities

    Has any 4K Pilot been able to fly his or her drone without the compass calibration routine? And had at least 12 to 18 sat.locks between the transmitter and the drone as well as 9 to 12 sats.between the transmitter and the camera? I pose this question because in my first two flights I have...

    Sluggish response by Q500 4K

    Noiseboy, I posted a you tube video on 6 13 2016. A flyover on one of our three large fields on our farm. It is about 60 acres in size and gives you a bird's eye view of what most of our farm looks. The video is titled Big Walk Field at South Fork Road. Jim

    First crash!

    That's a good idea! I never considered small nylon screws or fishing line.

    Sluggish response by Q500 4K

    Noiseboy, You are very welcome to the advice. I have been watching a series of You Tube videos created by Jeff Sibelius. His series has great advice, especially for novice drone pilots, because he focuses most of the videos on Typhoon 4K's, the 500+'s, the G's, and the 500's. I have seen one...

    Connecting 4k to gui

    If I were you, I would stay away from any firmware upgrades unless your drone is drifting too much. You can calibrate the accelerometer once you are connected to the GUI software. And I would definitely NOT mess with changing the geo fence distance any further than line of sight. Too far out and...

    Trim Box

    You can't. Trim buttons only works for the Typhoon "H" models. Jim, Typhoon 4K flier

    Losing Connection to Camera

    Why is it that DJI Phantom drones get a lot of attention from the television networks and other brands do not? Jim

    Sluggish response by Q500 4K

    It's a good idea to perform an accelerometer calibration either through the GUI software download from the Yuneec website ( I do mine from Windows 7) or perform the calibration in the field, according to your flight manual. And ALWAYS correctly perform a compass calibration before you fly...
