Unfortunately there is NO way to get rid of the "safety circle" with the GUI. You can override the Max distance from ground station as well as the Max ceiling. I think we should be able to sign off that we understand the danger of hitting ourselves and have full control of the settings.
Some of my experiences with the Typhoon H
- Thread starter HarveyC
- Start date
I was in angle mode during the crash. I calibrated the compass before my first light.
Agree, Harvey informed me he was aware and outside the Circle of Death, I for one, will back him up to Yuneec, that his H has some sort of cliche that needs attention !
As far as I am concerned the only time I ever use "Smart" mode is when I loose orientation of the UAV. I switch to "Smart" mode and pull back on the right stick. Once I get a grasp of orientation, I switch back to Angle/pilot mode.
I know how carefully you have studied the H and I know we have had many conversations about it's functions, I know it is a bug issue and I am sure Yuneec will replace your faulty unit very soon !
I can't believe Yuneec has not put up an updated manual yet since the H's are in the field.
I think Yuneec refers to the IMU as the Accelerometer calibration.
Sorry about your crash. Hopefully the flight log can shed light on what happened to your rogue copter. Have you verified the SD card is in the ST16?
Been told you can't turn it off, but if you fly in Angle mode it is not functional, and Angle Mode is what most of us DJI flyers would call "P" Mode, so that will shut the damned thing off!
Agreed. I have experienced this smart mode circle of death first hand. I was flying my Q500 4K less than 20 feet away using a newly purchased wizard when I inadvertently switched into smart. This resulted in the aircraft flying straight into the fence behind me.
The "Safety Circle" IMHO makes the "Smart" mode dangerous. I think with all the bad "drone" press, Yuneec is trying to be PC and advertise all the "safety" features their UAV's have.
But like you stated it is much more dangerous, especially if you have people around while taking off!
I was recording a video at the time of the crash. Upon crashing, I handed the ST-16 to my son who turned it off after asking me and I forgot to stop the recording and thought I may have lost the video but it seems to have been saved okay to the card. I was unable to opened it at the first attempt with my video editing software (Corel VideoStudioX9 gives message "file formant mismatch") but am in process of uploading this as an unlisted video on Youtube and it seems to be progressing okay). I don't know if I will share this publicly - don't care to get the DJI trolls fired up and would prefer to give Yuneec a chance to look at it first.
Nothing yet. The wind has been blowing pretty good. I'm hoping to get a flight in the morning if the winds stop blowing.
There is a microSD in the CGO3+ and a second microSD in the ST16 under the battery. The SD in ST16 records flight data that can be used to analyze a flight/crash - like the black box of a plane.
There is no microSD in the bottom of the ST16. I thought you meant under the battery itself (i.e., in the batter compartment but finally realized that you mean the edge of the controller facing the operator.
In all the flipping around of the ST16 I discovered I've got something inside that rolls around quite a bit some of the time.
