    Overheated rotor motor

    More good information. I was pretty sure flying the drone as it is wasn't a great idea but it's good to know more specifically why it's not advisable. I thought I noticed a dissonance in the rotor whir the last two times I flew it, but I couldn't pin down what exactly sounded "off". I will...

    Overheated rotor motor

    Thanks, just left that site. From what I've been reading and seeing, it may be worth the extra $40 to get the full arm assembly (as opposed to the motor alone). It would depend on what you prefer to invest, time or money. Do I want an interesting challenge to hone my repair skills and up my...

    Overheated rotor motor

    Okay, yeah, that's exactly what I wanted to know! I've got my engineer SIL to fall back on but this sounds like more fun than even he cares for. I'll be checking into the fully assembled rotor arm replacement mentioned in the post. Thank you, much appreciated.

    Overheated rotor motor

    I've had an ongoing issue with my H not responding correctly to the left/right stick inputs. I discovered the problem when it flew into the high tops of some very tall pines, totally without my permission. I repaired the minor damage to props and gimbal mount, and over the next several months...

    What is latest version #?

    Somehow over all these endless discussions and videos I totally missed this 13 minute wait time. Just when I finally think I'm starting to know what I'm doing....

    What is latest version #?

    Okay, watched a dozen videos, read through several threads, took a deep breath, crossed my fingers, and jumped. Updated the controller and the drone both, not an entirely smooth process with issues related to formatting the micro SD card. But I switched to direct wireless updates and seems to...

    What is latest version #?

    Thanks. That’s the kind of stuff that blindsides me. I’ve learned to watch the videos after (or before) I’ve read everything I can find, they really do help a lot.

    What is latest version #?

    Thanks, Steve. Looks like I'm behind. V03_.01.b30 and v1.3 autopilot. I may wait a little longer to do an update, get a couple good flights in before trying an update process I’ve never done before. My self-confidence has taken a serious hit from this drone.o_O

    "first use need to connect network"? message

    Not sure what I did differently today from yesterday, but I got the drone into bind mode which it was not wanting to do yesterday. Got it and the camera successfully bound, got calibrations initiated and completed. The camera gimbal is happy again, staying at level and not trying to tilt past...

    What is latest version #?

    Can anybody tell me what is the version number of the latest updates for the ST16 and the Typhoon H? I bought my H last March and have never updated either component since.

    "first use need to connect network"? message

    Okay, Trying the rebind from team mode. I selected the model from the home screen model select tab. In the systems setting screen 'SR24S_8766v1.07' appeared in orange under the aircraft model heading. That sounds like a software title or OS version but I guess it could be the H. Tapping...

    "first use need to connect network"? message

    Wow. Good question. I have no idea where he left the gimbal slider after the reset. I DO know before the reset he set the K2 start point from the channel settings screen, centering it halfway between the two maximum values. I think that's what he did, just looking over his shoulder. It...

    "first use need to connect network"? message

    Thanks. I just packed it up to head home but I will give that s shot when I get there. I haven't done this yet, I'm pretty sure I can figure out how to put it in team mode. LK

    "first use need to connect network"? message

    My engineer son-in-law and I spent most of Saturday poring over the various testing, calibration and editing modes on the ST16. In the end we did do a factory reset, no amount of physical manipulations had any effect on the lagging J4stick. Also the camera gimbal pan (K2) was restricted to the...
