Thanks all Pat, I think you nailed it I will try not to pull next time, or keep pushing down on the stick, which is always a little scary as I don't want a new haircut

It was windy, so it could have been the main reason...

I wish I could but I was on my sailboat and that was the only option for me. While I make it take off from our solar panels, there is just too little space for it to land safely. Halyards, rigging, etc. A straight up take off is possible but landing on the panel would be too tricky. It has to...

good morning everyone, I don't know if this has been asked before, but lately, when I bring my H down to catch it by hand, as soon as I hold its legs the motors accelerate wildly and it takes a very long depress of the red button to stop the bird. It's on the latest firmware. Any ideas? tks

thanks, I checked on their website and it's the case.

thanks all. I followed your advice and flew my new bird for the first time yesterday. I find it much more responsive than the Q500. It's a shame to get rid of a Q500 with less than 3 hours total flight time, but I'm really happy with the H purchase. Was in for a big scare, tough, when I started...

The Great Lakes generate a lot of moisture. Same here with the St Lawrence river. This morning, humidity was 92%

Thanks guys. It will have to wait a couple more days, my home being at the edge of a no fly zone. So my guess is that it won't even start. I will call Yuneec on tuesday to lift the restriction. Should not be difficult, I have my private pilot license, and while I don't fly anymore because of...

Hi everyone, happy new year to all. I will retire my Q500 4K now that I got a nice Christmas gift, a Typhoon H. Here near Montreal, it's a typical harsh winter. Today is very mild at about 26F. My question is this: since I will not ( most likely ) use it before spring, should I calibrate it...

Any update? Battery still dead?

Cranky, try it. Save your battery... Don't keep it undercharged for too long.

Just flew my bird. Saved my battery. All is fine.

the type of charger / maintainer I used to revive the battery. Do not use any high current charger !! Do not charge for more than 1 or 2 minutes @ 2 Amps max !! The only thing you want is to bring the battery voltage above the threshold where the Yuneec charger refuses to charge. I suggest...

So far, so good !!!

I just had a similar problem. In low temp, ( -2C outside today), I brought the battery to critical level then landed. But I left the Q500 on for another 10 minutes while I was chatting with a neighbor. The St-10+ then showed 8.7V !! I shut it off. When I connected the battery to the original...
