As of Friday, apparently I'm 8th in line. My H has been at Ken-A-Vision / Kavservice since April and I only get updates when I request them.

In addition to using the landing gear switch, did you try engaging the RTH switch to get the gear down?

Depending on what your use case is here, maybe just use the HDMI out on the ST16 to display on the external monitor?

The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be: Battery exhaustion due to the pilot's failure to ensure that an adequate voltage supply was onboard to satisfy the flight as conducted. A contributing factor was the lack of suitable terrain for...

If you place the H upside down you can extend and retract the struts without the motors running

What charge amperage rate are you using for the storage charge option on the Hitec? The selectable range is 0.1 - 1 amp, is there any reason a user wouldn't select 1 amp in this mode when putting a typhoon H battery into storage mode?

PatR- thank you for the links, I have been researching and have a greater understanding of LiPo technology. Out of curiosity, do you enable the capacity cut-off setting on the Hitec charger and if so, are you configuring it for 5400mah or higher?

I just purchased the Hitec X4 charger and reading through the threads on this forum I still don't quite have confidence in all of the setting choices that is compatible with the Typhoon H batteries. Could someone post all of the configurable values they use for their batteries? Thanks!

I haven't tried this myself yet but I believe you can retract the struts without running the motors if you place the H upside down.

This is a great idea, thank you for sharing. Have you experienced any issues with the H when pulling the battery out while the struts are retracting to get them into that position? What's the behavior when power is restored? Do they extend back out or do you have to command it with the ST16?

PatR- I also had that same issue so I used Imgur to host the image and then in my post I used the direct url to point to the image

Thank you Captain for yet another fantastic video, keep up the great work

Adding on to this inquiry, what voltages does everyone fly down to? I start landing considerations at around 15v and try to be landed by 14.7 however this places a hard limit of flight time to roughly 10-12 minutes on my batteries.

Fantastic app Tuna, thank you for this contribution to this community. I just installed it for the first time today and my apologies if this has already been covered, but is there a delay between video and telemetry when viewing them side by side?
