    Crashed my Q500 4K

    Well it had to happen I guess. Had my Q500 4K for about a year and yesterday while flying I had my first crash. I flew it into a tree while flying about 10ft of the ground. I think the fact I was close to the ground was a blessing. Snapped 2 props and the top plate of the CGO3 camera was...

    Video Settings

    I had a similar issue and after some experimenting and watching online tutorials I found the sweet spot. Can't let you know now as I am out but will send you my settings when I get home. Suggest you watch this video. This one helped me a lot.

    Defective E90 and dealer can't help

    Just a thought here. I'm saddened to read all these reports of bad customer service. I am in Australia and I bought a Q500 4K about 4 months ago. Touch wood - I have had zero problems with it so far and really love it. But I worry that if I ever have an issue then I'm going to be on my own. I...

    Swallow charger

    Hi all, I have this swallow charger for other LiPo batteries that I use in a Kyosho RC buggy. Is it possible I could buy or source the correct leads to use this charger to charge our Yunneec LiPo batteries?

    Lost Signal, Almost Had It to Shore .... In the water 4 ft out!!

    I ordered my Q500 4K online and before it was even delivered or unbowed I had read the online manuals and quick start guide and downloaded a heap of YouTube video tutorials. Some one summed if up perfectly on one of the tutorials, that this is not the kind of purchase where you make...

    Lost Signal, Almost Had It to Shore .... In the water 4 ft out!!

    I'd be interested to know what percentage of people read the instruction manual or quick start guide that comes with all our Yuneec quadcopters?

    Lipo batteries

    I'm about to go overseas for about 2 and a half weeks and therefor will not be taking the yuneec. How would you suggest I keep the batteries safe in that almost 3 weeks I'm away? Shall I run them both down as per normal flying, then half charge them into a storage state? I have no way to check...

    Q500 4K unresponsive yaw

    Thanks last night I watched the video over again and applied the contact cleaner after seeing in hardware monitor there was an issue. Fixed the problem. Went for a flight this morning and it flies like brand new. So grateful for the help from this forum.

    Q500 4K unresponsive yaw

    I see so you just spray it into the stick area and manipulate the sticks, then do the recalibration. We don't have Walmart down here in Australia. But the one I sent you in the link should be ok, claims to be safe on plastic.

    Q500 4K unresponsive yaw

    Thanks for your reply, I do appreciate it a lot. I did a google search and found what you have recommended: WD-40 Specialist 290g Fast Drying Contact Cleaner Do I need to take the ST10+ apart to do the cleaning? Or can you please detail how to clean out the sticks? Is it a matter of moving the...

    Q500 4K unresponsive yaw

    My quadcopter is about 5 weeks old and I have taken it flying just about a dozen times so far. I have noticed the yaw is becoming progressively less responsive in both left and right directions. I have calibrated the ST10+ controller and it passed all tests. I even bought a can of compressed air...
