Hey Gang,
My H arrived yesterday and due to work and weather I haven't had a chance to get her outside to a field to calibrate and maiden. so this afternoon I thought I'd spend sometime looking over the transmitter and getting acquainted with the camera and gimbal controls. In the past (since 87) I've built and flown helis and "Y" hexs that all required building. This being my first RTF I've done a LOT of research on multiple forums and YouTube and Vimeo. I mention this because I've seen or read about most of the problems people are experiencing. Some are noobs and some are defective parts...
When I first powered up the St16 and then the H, my camera wouldn't connect, so a little research and I found that powering up the H as soon as the Yuneec logo appears on the ST16 solved that problem.
I then got several "no GPS lock" warning which I associated to being inside .....waiting to see
But this is the one that has me wondering.... the altitude reading and the distance reading on the 16 were WTFO...alt was at 17' when the H was on an 18" ottoman, and the distance was 37' when I was less than 5' away from it. Now I'm hoping that this has something to do with where it had its original Comp Cal done and redoing the Cal in an open field corrects it. BUT this could certainly explain why some people have had issues landing their drones or even moving away from them when they enabled RTH....
Has anyone else experienced weird ST16 readings while indoors on the bench? If so did the H fly and read correctly once you got outside?
I'm praying that I got a solid one....I know Yuneec has been great taking care of peoples issues, but I for once, would like a product to perform as designed/advertised..... fingers crossed.
any insight is appreciated!
Peace
Anthony
