    Modified Typhoon H to fly across entire length of Canada

    That would seem to be the most logical option. Once it gets started, we'll know more.

    Modified Typhoon H to fly across entire length of Canada

    Thanks for the kind words. My suggestion to get you to feel a bit more comfortable with your first flight is to practice on a simple basic drone. I just demo'd a $20 one on my channel. Since these cheap drones have position height hold and stability, they "sort of" fly like the bigger...

    Here is the length of the Journey the Explorer150 will fly.

    Modified Typhoon H to fly across entire length of Canada

    In celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, Duracell is launching the Explorer150, the first drone to travel across Canada, capturing footage of this beautiful country, and live streaming it for Canadians everywhere. The drone’s journey will begin in Beavercreek, Yukon and ends in St. John’s...

    TYPHOON H - Battery Review - Increase your flight time - Powerextra

    Love it! Pat, I didn't post the video in this thread.... But I will respond. You do realize that sometimes you are like one of the two old guys on the muppet show that sit up in the balcony ready with glass "less than half full" comments. :-) My videos are "fun videos" but the results...

    My review of the Typhoon H now that it is 1 year old

    It all depends on two very important items: - what is the damage to the H? - what are your abilities at repairing household items?

    My review of the Typhoon H now that it is 1 year old

    If it does not show it happening on your ST16, then it is a post production issue which means when the video signal is compressed with the appropriate frames added and a file is opened/closed something is going wrong. Your CGO3 knows what and how to compress video via firmware updates. Is...

    Typhoon H Crash

    I've never tried the Staples repair venue and hope that I never have to. When Yuneec in the US handled the repairs, everything was great!

    My review of the Typhoon H now that it is 1 year old

    That is unfortunate but it happens. I must have been lucky. I fly into a cloud on a cold morning, came out and landed and noticed that the landing gear and motor arms were covered in ice which could have ending in a different outcome.

    My review of the Typhoon H now that it is 1 year old

    I may not be the best person to ask this question to because I just fly for fun and not for the purpose you're looking having a camera drone for. I can add the following: - Zoom lens on a small drone like the Typhoon H would not work very well. This is why drones like the Inspire 2 have...

    My review of the Typhoon H now that it is 1 year old

    Long ago when I received my very first drone (a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+), I watched a video of surf dude down south catching his drone and I thought it looked cool, so I began doing it. Then I realized that catching a drone ensures the camera remains clean and there is zero chance of a bounce or...

    My review of the Typhoon H now that it is 1 year old

    Could be my speech impediment brought on by caffeine... I think I was quickly saying "New Battery". :-)

    My review of the Typhoon H now that it is 1 year old

    Hey Mr. "flat-lander" :-) I flew it over this past winter (some videos of this are on my channel). The coldest flown was one day where it was -19 Celcius. I can't include the windchill factor because that pretty much only affects objects that produce heat (like me... and I froze all winter!)...

    My review of the Typhoon H now that it is 1 year old

    That is hilarious! I never noticed that one of my RC antenna's was stuck under the gimbal. Perhaps it's been that way for sometime since I last removed the gimbal. I usually don't fly farther than half a kilometer so never noticed an issue. Yuneec has offered to replace my ST16 in the past...

    My review of the Typhoon H now that it is 1 year old

    Happy late Birthday Typhoon H! I received mine in May of 2016 and have been flying it along with many other drones. Here are my thoughts after 1 year.
