    I have had Yuneek's Typhoons for about 5+ years, just bought my 4th one, used it out at the park, took it out on a shoot, and nothing!!! I was near a military installation not sure if that had any effect... ( after I could not get it to connect with Wi-Fi even the camera quit) so now I have it...

    Totally Disappointed, unreliability, embarrassment

    Wish I could say the same, after my first crash after the battery ejected it's self I too check, I did accidentally buy aftermarket props, that cost me $100.00 in repairs and also found out the Typhoon doesn't fly with only 5 props, I thought it was supposed to.

    Totally Disappointed, unreliability, embarrassment

    I did e-mail them and I have a 'Ticket' it will be interesting to see if they reply, don't get me wrong I love my drones, but it's just got ridiculous the times there's always something wrong, doesn't produce a feeling of reliability, particularly when dealing with media, and charging a good...

    Totally Disappointed, unreliability, embarrassment

    It's been almost two years since I bought my first Typhoon, I was excited, read all the manuals watched all the videos, learnt how to fly, yes crashed a few times like everyone does.

    I recently bought new props from the internet.... not Yuneec parts I found out later ... Out on a shoot to day at a popular out door museum in Nevada, just about finished and bringing the Typhoon drone in to land I hear an odd noise and the drone shoots off and crashes. It turns out that one of...

    Slightly Swollen H Battery

    I had a similar issue, mine swelled up and shot it self out of the drone, I was over desert so luckily it just crashed in waste land, drone total loss, I sent it back but honestly they didn't believe me at first. Got the drone and battery replaced.

    Swollen batteries

    Don't use it, send it to Yuneek ,, I had a battery do that and caused a crash I still have pictures and argue with the Co about that , these batteries work with gas compound and it is perfectly reasonable this will happen, Even the operating instructions warn of over heating ...
