I bought the Chroma with Spectrum radio installed and bought the Yuneec receiver for it as well with the idea of buying a Yuneec transmitter for it if I ever ran across a camera for the Chroma. That thought never came to fruition.

Cool! The only thing I have done with it was to power cycle the two batteries I got with it to keep them functional. I did not buy it with a camera so it is "in reserve" should the 350 QX die.

The schematics kindly provided by the Moderator prove there is no battery on the mainboard. A capacitor may have gone bad. I ordered a USB cable to connect it to the GUI this morning and hope to figure out the problem at that time. At this point, all I can do is read the shared information...

Thank you so much. The USB cable is noted to work for both the 350 QX and the 200 QX. It seems the GUI is exactly what I need to sort out my problems. I sincerely appreciate your input on these initialization problems. I just ordered the necessary GUI cable and will start trying to figure...

Regarding the 200 QX, its display turns solid red at the end of my efforts to bind it. The mode switch does not seem to work. In fact none of the controls seem to work other than the bind button. I will again note its indications when I power it up without trying to bind. It has been a...

I spent the last two years ghost-writing when I should have been flying. My 350 QX and its predecessor, the 200 QX now fail to initialize. The 350 QX repeatedly emits 3 descending tones and its display flashes red. The 200 QX constantly beeps and appears to be in Agility mode, but does not...

It is quite saddening to read of the passing of John Mitchell. He was a very competent technician and trusted source for information and parts. I emailed him last week about the failures of my 200 QX and 350 QX to initialize and was wondering why he had not replied. He will be greatly missed...

A drawback to the idea of using Smart batteries is their availability in an appropriate size. Just went on Ebay and bought a Typhoon H battery adapter. Then went shopping for Spectrum Smart batteries and found that the closest available size in 4s was 5000 MAh. Larger capacity Spectrum...

The Q500 and Typhoon H battery adapters sold on ebay look like they would do the job. Thanks. I did not see one for my Chroma. May have to improvise one for that.

Having crashed a lot of model airplanes by flying very old batteries that "seem" OK, I am switching over to Spectrum Smart batteries that log events and self-discharge to storage levels if not used within a day or so. The fact that I have been lucky flying my Yuneec camera drones with old...

A follow-on finding would be that Cramolin B5 PreservIT dissolved the adhesive. CRC QD did not bother the adhesive. That finding is based on spraying one stick with only CRC QD after spraying the other stick with Cramolin and CRC QD.

After successfully cleaning my ST16 stick gimbals of my Typhoon H, I hardware checked the ST10+ of my Q5004K and found J2 was not returning to center by various amounts ranging from 2 to 6%. That type of behavior grounded my Typhoon H until I cleaned its ST16, so I popped open the ST10+ to clean...

I figured that was why I got the 5 Rotor Warning. At this point, cleaning the stick potentiometers has solved my takeoff problems. I ran a number of calibrations during troubleshooting and was not pleased that gimbal calibrations left my camera tilted slightly down instead of horizontal. This...

There is a notice in the manual on the LED STATUS INDICATIONS page that reads: White blink between solid flight mode indicat4es enough satellites for Watch Me/Follow Me. I was dumbly confusing this white blink every 3 seconds with the 3 times per second blinking Green or Purple light indicating...

Posted this on conversation with DoomMeister today: "It looks there will be plenty of opportunity get the two threads linked because my Typhoon's problems may not be resolved. Was going to drive to my flying club airfield this morning but decided to again open ST16 and clean J3 and J4 as well...
