Heyo folks, like title states-new plus coming. (Been flying the H and Q500 for a long while). Searching forums for a while about the plus and it’s apparent some rolled off the factory floor with issues and some not. I’m afraid that when it comes, in spite of it’s pristine condition, it’s going to have issues. So, that said, has anyone officially, or unofficially, identified what batches have issues and what ones don’t? Or is it just “buy and hope for the best”?
Is there a way to identify the year it was built via serial numbers, or are numbers all the same? If Identifying the year one could theoretically match up the time period of the drones with issues?
There’s been a huge amount of discussion over the firmware builds (700’s/800’s) and which one is better. The discussions are overwhelming in search and conventional wisdom is if it’s not broke and flys fine, then don’t upgrade, but that seems off to me. An upgrade is an upgrade and should be done.
I guess I’m not 100% sure how to ask what I’m asking, but said another way-how will I know I have one of the plus’ with issues before flying, aside from it flying into a wall on me, or flying away, or refusing to land (all of which were noted problems in all the searches). At what point did yuneec iron out the gremlins I guess is what I’m asking, and how to identify it? Paying $1300 for a plus it scares me it’ll crash on first flight, or do something stupid (I’ve paid less than $600 for my 3 H drones so there wasn’t angst if I were to crash one). As far as the beginning of 2019’ people seemed to be having issues from what I’ve found.
Thanks for any feedback.
