BEWARE Yuneec's softpack (hard case replacement) DOES NOT FIT the full styrofoam

Tony2016 · Aug 2, 2016

I got mine and used it yesterday for the first time. Yes it's pretty tight in the beginning. The box and lid fit fine. From what I have seen it's pretty good quality. I assume it will stretch a little over time.
I am happy that it has external pockets. I can put 2 extra batteries in each.

What is your definition of "cheapo nylon zippers"? What are your visual evidence of this? You didn't mention they broke.

Are you going to return the backpack?

I'm sticking with my original statement that mine does NOT fit. No way I can get the zippers more than 2/3 closed! Maybe I got a defective one, but it is not going to be able to fit and close with the lid on.

That was my first impression that it won't fit. But after pushing in the lid and the box, I was able to close the backpack. There's no slack anywhere. As I and some others have indicated that it fits, you probably have a defective one. Maybe try again. Rotate the box.

Here are a few pictures of everything installed in the soft backpack...

I think people are confusing the backpack in this photo with the official Typhoon H backpack. The backpack in this photo fits the foam from the Typhoon H advanced. The Typhoon H pro foam fits the official Yuneec backpack with the big 'H' on the back.

This is the one I got...................

I'm gonna have to whittle on the lid to make it fit.

It only fits in one direction.

TX to the top of the backpack if I remember correctly. I thought I was going to shave the foam too, but put my frustration aside for a bit and came back to it, took my time, a bit of pushing and pulling later it fit. I thought the zipper would never close, and the first time it was very tight. Now it works fine.

That's the one for the Typhoon H Advanced.

That's what I have. Not the Pro. I'm 6'0" and 190lbs. I've stretched and pulled and dragged and kicked and shoved all afternoon lol!! I finally pulled out the top layer of velcro tape, and this is as close as I can get it to close. It took everything I had! Shouldn't be this hard.

Is the tapered end of the foam to the top or bottom?

It's certainly looks the correct size for width and length but it looks as if it is lacking in depth for some reason.

I bought this hard case from Aliexpress. It fits the top and bottom foams perfectly and I like the way the case looks. It cost about $99 USD shipped

That says Typhoon H480 -- But it fits the H?
