I'm starting to think I'm jinxed. My first Typhoon H + Dropped out of the sky [the motors simply quit] on it's second flight. It was damaged beyond repair. No pilot error.
Yuneec replaced the whole package. OK, we're good to go, right?
So my replacement has been flying fine, though I've not had a lot of flights with the replacement. Tonight I took it out and
and in the process of calibrating it, while in my hands and in rotation, the landing gear moved to the raised position and stayed there.
The connection between the drone and the controller was fine. I held onto the drone so as not to damage the camera and moved over to where the controller was sitting and flipped the landing gear switch up and then down again. Nothing. No response. I completed the calibration thinking once out of that setting I'd get control again. Nope. I turned the drone off and back on again. Nothing. I rebooted both the controller and the drone and ... nothing.
If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it. I brought the drone home in the trunk of my car, belly up to avoid damaging the exposed camera/gimbal. two of the motor arms cannot be collapsed because the landing gear (in the up position) is in the way.
I'll be setting up an appointment to speak to Yuneec as soon as possible.
Why me? Sniff, sniff.
