    First and very catestrophic crash

    That is similar to what I used to tell student pilots when I used to do some flight training. Basically, altitude is your friend. When you are higher you are clear of obstacles and you have more time to think and you're less likely to panic.

    Typhoon H GPS Lost! Fly Away! My story!

    I use a Ping GPS tracker on my drones just in case.

    UAV Toolbox - New release August 16th - 2.3.0

    I've already paid once and I will be happy to pay again for your great work. I don't understand why Yuneec didn't open their software to developers as DJI did but that is why I appreciate those who develop for us even more.

    Endangering wildlife

    I think people are getting a little too picky about this. I used to fly helicopters for the forestry service and we were told to intentionally fly low to herd animals in a direction where they were captured and examined at random. I did this for several years. Also, I flew in Oregon where we...

    How long have you been flying your H?

    Actually, I haven't changed the props. I have inspected with them with dye penetrant and once with x-ray and I haven't seen any issues with them. I have over 850 hours on them. I wish I had more time on them but I don't get to fly as often as I would like.

    How long have you been flying your H?

    I've been operating my H for 3 1/2 years without a crash, loss of signal, etc. I was just wondering how many others have been.

    Inclimate weather

    I was flying a small airplane near a thunderstorm and I went from 9000 feet down to 4000 feet in 2 minutes because of a downdraft. Maybe that is what the drone experienced.

    Drone Intrusion

    I can approach at 35 with one of my planes. I've got a Zenith 701. If I have a 15 mph head wind it means I'm only going 20mph through the air. My Cessna will approach at 50 and if I have the same head wind I am only going 35.

    Amusement Park Aerial photography ideas SIX FLAGS GREAT ESCAPE

    My company rented Knotts Berry Farms and people we allowed to fly drones and put go pros on rides. They checked with the park first. Since it was being rented many of the rules no longer applied. It never hurts to ask first instead of just wondering and asking questions here. It's like on...

    Public Opinions on UAV's

    Just make sure you aren't on the national seashore. You can't fly a drone there. Mustang Island also is a no fly zone.

    Sooooo about the Q500 Drone

    I have a Mavic Pro, a Q500 4k, and a Typhoon H. I use all for professional work. The best thing about the Q500 is the controller. There are more control options on the q500 than the Mavic and the screen is great. Watch some of the videos on Youtube about the q500. For the price and quality, it...

    DataPilot (or equivalent official software from Yuneec)

    I find myself using my Mavic Pro more these days unless I need to make use of the 360 camera.
