Wingshooter, Guilty! To a certain degree... I signed on to this forum because I had a specific questions/problem. (The people that regularly post here are AWESOME!!!!!) (Too many to name.) It's unfortunate there are those that, like you say: Think it's an "official forum". I've seen the...

Reminds of the old adage: "Good Judgement comes from Experience. Experience comes from Poor Judgement." ... I like to think I have pretty good judgement. ;)

ArnhemAnt, Ocean fishing would be fun to try. The lake in the photo is 5600ft above sea level with Rainbow and Brook trout galore. The water temp never gets above 4C. Brrr. We're roughing it for 5 days so need lots of juice to make sure we get home. I've recently introduced an inverter to our...

Jones, 1. You likely have the Pro version. Your ST16= two external antenna or three. If three: Pro. 2. Very doubtful! Lot's of info on this forum and on YouTube on how to do the updates. Make every effort to determine where you can and cannot fly and go to where you can. I'm in Canada so my...

Hey ArnhemAnt, I'd be willing to bet it has a lot to do with the EMF given off by the alternator, spark plugs, etc. If it's not running then there's probably some permanent magnets in the motor somewhere too. (But you know all that.;)) I used to have a 6m inboard/outboard but downsized to a...

Agreed, perhaps a little too aggressive on certain points. Something to look into more perhaps and not sure if it was my 4th time calibrating the compass but, those few degrees "seemed" to make a difference. She locked in and beeped much quicker on the last try than the previous. Time and...

LOL, why am I not surprised.:rolleyes:

OH BOY!!! I feel much better now!!!!!! Today was another good day for flying. +4C with a South wind of about 10kmh with minor gusts and clear sky. Went to the same spot. Set up was pretty much the same but with radically better results. Took along my level instead of just “eyeballing” the...

You can email them too.(Email: [email protected]) Like many, I gave up on the website. Their message to me after I told them the website has issue was: "Furthermore, our website was undergoing maintenance but at this point you should be able to register your product. You may also provide us with...

Hi 2lip, I would go with Patr and his comments on remounting the gimbal. FWIW, my "other" Yuneec drone had an argument with a dead poplar tree. On hitting the ground, the camera broke free and rolled about 20ft into the bush. Upon reattaching the gimbal, rather than using what looks like 6lb...

I'm so envious!!!!!! Being of Icelandic decent, it's one my life goals to get there. Beautiful footage!

ArnhemAnt, You're probably right about ALL calibrations. Gimbal, not so much. Acceleramoter, maybe. Compass, not a bad idea. I'll admit you had me going with the "Almanac". Hadn't considered it. Very good article, thank you for the link. I'm probably too used to my Garmin GPS and the Q not...

Tuna, I hear you!. Hand catching is not for the faint of heart. I'm very comfortable doing it with my Q. I only attempted if hover was stable for more than 5 seconds. Pretty scary grabbing hold of something that sounds like an angry swarm of wasps and can do more damage than a run-away saw...

ArnhemAnt, Pat, Thanks for the input. Much appreciated. So, even though both the H and ST16 show 20 satellites after about 5 minutes (Did my calibrations, powered down then back up again, waited for all connections 5 minutes then engaged props) I may not have given sufficient time for satellite...

Hi There, Well today was the day. "Tee Hee" (Giddy little school kid.) The weather broke here North of the 49th parallel and it was a great day to fly!!! (8 Deg C (46F), South wind nil to10km/hr (6mph), partly cloudy) I've been chomping at the bit since Xmas to get my H into the air. 25 below...
