    FrankenPhoon is ALIVE! No more Toilet Bowl

    I had the same problem with my H. After 5 minutes or so it would begin to toilet bowl and often tip over when trying to land. I sent it to Yuneec in Germany. They didn't replace anything, and it wasn't fixed. (I suspect they only tested it for a couple of minutes) I sent it back, and now see...

    Very Twitchy In Flight

    This has been discussed in many threads. The only way to eliminate this completely is to not use the GPS. You will then find the response silky smooth. Of course, non-GPS mode introduces other problems. Changing the response curves can help somewhat, but you still get a little lurch at the...

    US Sofware in EU?

    There have been no reports that I know of anyone who has had a problem using the "A" (USA) firmware in Europe. This thread will show you how to do it: HOWTO: Update E, F, J, K to Standard (A) firmware, if latest version is already installed (v3.04)

    High Above Peru

    Great stuff. Good color grading. What lens mod did you do? There was very little spacial distortion, even in the pans.

    Typhoon Q500 4k and Typhoon H Upgrade Worth It

    To address the question asked originally, I say go for the H. I've had both, and the H is superior. First, the H is more stable in wind. It shows in your video. With the latest firmware, the video image is markedly improved. I don't know if there are any similar updates to the cgo3. Of...

    Have we figured out the jerky flight around center stick?

    The firmware updates have addressed this issue. First, as mentioned above, the braking now is a bit softer, so Turtle mode is smoother. Second, the "cruise control" allows you to crawl very, very slowly if you wish. It works for me.

    October 28th Firmware update - H and ST16

    Did the updates, it went fine. Did all the calibrations, had to wait out a solar storm (kph 7 this morning), but then flew 3 batteries without a problem. The controls with GPS on are still a bit looser than originally, as was the case with the September updates, but this helps smooth filming...

    October 28th Firmware update - H and ST16

    The ST16 gives no indication that compass calibration is underway. Look at the bird, and look for flashing arms. I've been fooled by this more than once.

    Recording fireworks

    Fireworks are very bright. Use shutter and iso the same as you would during the day.

    Important TyphoonH_Ver2.24_A.bin

    I installed TyphoonH_Ver2.24_E.bin. Here's my report: Cloudy skies, 14°, 15kph W wind I first did a compass calibration. Connection time was about 90 seconds, the same as before. There was no loss of signal when raising the gear. Yay! I went out about 750 meters, and the signal was excellent...

    Compass Error Observations

    Are you sure you are interpreting the green arrow correctly ? It doesn't always point at the ST16. It depends on the orientation of the craft. If you are taking off with the head of the H facing you (ok, unusual ), the arrow will point up, away from you. I don't mean to be condescending, just...

    Yuneec.com now a hazardous web site?

    I'm sorry, but it's an issue. Their website has been down for 24 hours. What's going on ?

    Yuneec H Peau Lens final focus Test

    2 year warranty in Europe, by European law, and the customer still has some rights after that period, as said by Raptorheli. I don't know how they can only offer 12 months in the UK.
