UPDATE:: Packed up my ST16, two batteries, and everything else minus 1 drone and six props to send back to Yuneec last night for my new replacement. After UPS scanned in my shipment I contacted Yuneec and they instantly saw that I had shipped what I had back to them. They told me they were then authorizing their sales department to send me out a whole new set up to match the one that I had. According to them I should have it in 5 to 7 business days. Excellent service in my book. I received a confirmation email from Yuneec later that night confirming that the shipment was being sent and that my case was officially closed.
I also shipped back the Typhoon H Pro I purchased from Amazon just in case Yuneec did not come through as I had hoped. They charged me $17 and some change for shipment because my reason for returning the item was that it was no longer needed. Return shipment would've been free with a more valid reason. But, not a bad price to pay for the convenience of having what you want when you want it.
All in all, my experience with Yuneec was positive, professional, speedy, and fair. I only have good things to say about them and their treatment of this customer.
Sure am looking forward to getting my hands back on it. I miss that two legged, two eyed, six armed thing!
