Geoffrey, I finally got a chance to change my props and you were right. It took care of the drifting and also took care of the slight jello affect in my last videos. It was never there before the drifting started. The weather here for the last couple weeks was not ideal to fly with rain and wind...

Geoffrey, Thank you for your input. While the props look ok, I did have a mishap about a month ago where I put the drone into the top of a 30' tree in my yard. I wasn't paying attention to what flight mode I was in and it turned out that I was in smart mode and was affected by the smart circle...

Thanks Steve for your quick response to my question. The only reason I noticed the blinking light was I noticed the drifting the last two times out noticed the blinking lights for the first time. They may have been blinking since I first started flying 2 years ago and just didn't pay attention...

The last couple times that I took my Q500 out I noticed that it did a lot of drifting to the right mostly in angle mode. I also noticed that instead of a solid green or purple they were blinking starting from lift off to landing. I had good satellite lock with 17 and 18 satellites which is what...

Thank you h-elsner, After downloading your manual I didn't get a chance to check the whole thing out. I just checked it out from beginning to end and am impressed with the amount of information you put in it. It is really a very thorough program and will study it more this evening.

WTFDproject Thank you once again for your response to my question about telemetry logs. I believe your right as there are no values posted in any of the columns in my telemetry readout yet does show up when I add Telemetry to my videos using Dashware. I just downloaded "Q500log2KML" program and...

I was checking out my telemetry of my last flight looking for distance traveled and don't see a column for it. I know I'm missing something as I have overlaid past videos with telemetry and one of my gauges had takeoff distance and showed on my video. What column A-X is supposed to show this data?

WTFDproject, Yes it was in smart mode. I haven't flown it since last year and for some reason I thought angle mode was the top position. My mistake. I looked at my controller just now and see my mistake. I used angle mode all last year without a problem. I think you are right about "smart mode"...

The camera works perfectly now. One more question. Before my mishap happened with the tree. I noticed a strange reaction from my drone which happened also the time before this event. I was flying it in front of my home taking pictures of it and it was flying normal until it got to the same place...

WTFDproject, You made my day again. Sure enough it was in included in the box. Many thanks again, Darrell46

Many thanks to H-Eisner and WTFDproject. I am relieved at the simple fix. Two questions: What is the pigtail cable called and where can I order it from? Also if I understand the instructions on removing the three black wires, it shows to plug the one end of the pigtail into the side of the...

Long story short. My yuneec drone ended up in top of a 30' tree while I was trying to take pictures of my house. After finally getting it down the drone was not hurt and still works but the camera was dangling by two of the rubber bumpers of the gimbel. One of the three black wires was still...

Steve, Thank you for your response to my question. I found the information very helpful and produced my first finished video including telemetry. One of my problems when I first started using dashware was I was using a 4k video. It caused my gauges to act erratically with them going in and out...

When I get to the point in Dashware to download the video including the telemetry to my computer, I can get the video to play but not with the moving telemetry. I went to create video and hit the create video button I get a video of the telemetry frozen at the point of recording. If you start...

I've got a couple questions about storage charging. I bought a Hitec x2 AC plus battery charger for my Q500 batteries. In storage mode do you use a balance adapter during charging? The manual says it doesn't need to be connected to one but can be if preferred. Second question is when the...
