Meh, 90 minutes flight time wouldn't remotely sway me to purchase another Yuneec after the issues I've had with the H520 and its batteries and gimble and SD card pickiness and controller and upgrade system and failed promises like upgradeable to RTK, and horrible to no customer service. I'm...

Mine does this when I have the obstacle avoidance on, almost every time unless I fly nice and slow with it, always thought it was picking up the props. Never thought to check the connection between the drone and controller.

RTK enhances the GPS accuracy of the drone, typically to within a few centimeters. It uses a base station as a fixed known point and corrects the GPS readings on the drone accordingly. This is very useful in the mapping and photogrammetry world. The more accurate your drone's known/relative...

I've had this happen a few times randomly but it always goes away after I reboot (and stays away) and I've been flying it for over two years since the first time I've noticed it. It's like the camera just goes limp and free spins in the middle of the flight. Always thought it was just a...

Thanks! That's what I needed. At least I don't have to pay for this one yet and drive somewhere to take the exam.

Do I understand correctly that you have to pass the new refresher test to be able to get permission to fly over people with the new drone categories? Read it in an article, but I took my recurrent last year and don't really want to waste my time if I don't have to. Being able to fly over an...

Where is it supposed to show up? I'm looking at my inventory now and don't see anything about it or a spot for it.

I have had the same exact problem and still get it from time to time. My issue was/is that Yuneec's controller gets some oxidation on the stick sensors making them lag, this apparently is a common problem if you live in humid areas. All you have to do to fix it is spray it with contact cleaner...

I would guess that, at least in the US, there's some law that makes them list if it's Lithium Ion vs LiPo due to the stability difference between the 2 types. The old lithium ions were much more prone to rapidly combusting, is my understanding, and considering how garbage 3 of the 5 batteries...

Try Yuneec Skins, they sell parts for Yuneec Drones. YUNEEC SKINS Make sure that's the correct battery and they only have 1 in stock. I've also used an external battery to extend life plugged into the micro USB port but I'd only use that in emergency, otherwise you'll have to eventually replace...

I recently had a problem with my H520 in mapping missions dropping the photo collection in mid mapping and I've recently started using the scan disk extreme memory card. Worked fine once then started having issues and then I noticed that it was saying that the memory card was not detected...

I've had to spray the H520s dual charger buttons with contact cleaner to get them to work properly before, you may also try that if it's only working on the long hold. Yuneec products seem to have issues with moisture.

I've learned to always take electrical contact cleaner with me when I fly the H520. Fixes most of its issues from controller issues to battery charger issues... ;)

Yes, the version I currently have (not sure which) has ROI (Region Of Interest) and in the survey tab has corridor survey as well as a structure survey. I just used the ROI and it basically tells the camera to lock onto a GPS coordinate (doesn't follow objects). You upload it like a mission...

I agree completely. I've had so many issues with the H520 and it's controller and absolutely no response from Yuneec when I contact them, I don't think I could ever justify buying from them again or trusting their service. I've already been looking at other drone manufacturers for when our H520...
