Just gotta send a shout out to the folks at Terrestrial Imaging. I crashed my H a while back (got it stuck in a tree 80' up because I had the obstacle avoidance backwards. Oops). Aside from all of the props breaking when it finally fell from the tree, the drone was OK but the camera looked to...

Great work!

I asked for clearance from the local airport to test altitude near a hill in my area. Hill height is 1,210 feet. I reset the altitude fence and started to climb maintaining 1/4 or less separation from the ground of the hill. I made it up over 1000' before I started having a hard time...

This is my only name that I post under. This is the only drone related forum I post under. Any other resemblances are purely unintended. Also - dxer. Thanks for the clarification. I have been attacked a few other times and I'm a little overly sensitive. I appreciate your response. And for...

dxer - I agree, the pictures are TOTALLY different. Huge difference. HOWEVER, the difference is 100% camera. Nothing was changed on the ST16 (meaning the 'gorgeous' setting was not used). I don't use any electronic filters when I shoot video or photo and instead choose to do any alterations...

Well, to be perfectly honest there Der Stig - that truck has spent every day of it's 11 year life under the beating sun in Phoenix. I've done everything humanly possible to maintain the paint on it, but there will still be some fading and splotching. The top of that truck looks just like that...

That's really slick. I like that all of the important stuff is on the front and the back is a reference guide. I can print/laminate this and stash it in my go bag. Thanks for sharing this!

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm working on a rewrite now. I'll add some of this in. I put the accelerometer calibration in there more as a reminder to actually DO that calibration on occasion. Perhaps I'll just put in 'calibrate as needed' for gimble, accelerometer, and compass as a basic...

The Turtle mode thing, for me anyway, is to protect the UAV from accidental contact with objects while close to the ground. In the event that you bump the control stick or similar it simply gives you far more time to react and adjust before hitting another object. Once the H is 10 feet in the...

I do what BillyTexas does - I bought a cheap collapsible car windshield screen and cut a couple of clothes hangers to tack it down. Works like a charm and cost me less than $5. That leaves me more money for drone upgrades ;>)

I've had my H since April. Over 100 flights and I've logged almost 20 hours of actual flight time. More than 120 landings. I've done all updates and the only issue I've had was bad focus issues from the camera which Yuneec fixed for me in less than a week by replacing my camera, free of...

I had been debating getting an upgraded lens for my camera because the images were so soft but the price tag was more than I could afford. I finally decided to contact Yuneec and see what options they had. I was on the phone with the Yuneec technician for about 15 minutes. I emailed him a...

I performed the updates on the Typhoon and ST16 today. After it completed I performed the calibration. Rock solid flight and speed in angle mode is right around 30 which is a couple MPH above previous speed tests. Upon returning from my tests and preparing to land I noticed a little drift -...

Good Catch! Thanks! I'll add that to the list.

I was looking for a pre and post flight checklist to ensure I didn't miss anything stupid resulting in a crash of my Typhoon H. I found a great thread here: Pre and Post Flight Checklist (Thanks to Rick Dunn) This is really geared towards a Q500. I took it and altered it slightly for the...
