Update for anyone still interested below. Email back from Yuneec after sending them the flight logs: "Thank you for your patience. We have concluded your flight log review and can see that your unit experienced power loss shortly after taking off. You will receive a repair authorization and...

Yep, we actually bought the drone to photo a jobsite and didn't realize how close we were to McChord AFB / Fort Lewis. Add that to the list of numbskull things...that being said, we have many jobs and it was good to go on one of the others - at least until she nose dived into the asphalt.

If someone can explain how to upload the telemetry files, I can do it right now.

Both. It looked to me like the aircraft pitched 90 degrees and then flew into the ground. That would be 90 degrees from where I wanted it to go. Basically, it was hovering about 10 feet or so away from me and about 10-12 feet above the ground. I pushed the RIGHT joystick UP to make it go...

I'd like to post the flight data for anyone who could analyze. Which files would you want? I've gotten the logs to send to Yuneec, so we'll see where that goes...

I saw another post explaining how to post the telemetry files. I'll try and do that today. What "feature of Smart Mode" are you referring to? Second post to mention not flying in that mode close to you...

On the first neighborhood flight, I took off in angle mode and flew that way most of the time until I figured out what SMART MODE did...once I realized it was easier to control (at least at my experience level) I started using it on the last 3 batteries. In those instances, I took off from...

Hi all, new to the forums and new pilot. I'll try to be concise but as accurate as possible. I bought a Typhoon H to take photos of my jobsites (I work in the construction industry) about 3 weeks ago. First practice flight in my neighborhood went well. First flight on the jobsite went well...
