    Status of earlier post regarding H Erratic operation

    Thanks Steve. I will do just that. Most likely it won't be until later this week as the weather here in northern Maine is overcast and showers.

I found out the hard way) Well here it is April 20th and after several emails requesting any...

    Thanks. I found the clip and did that. Got it back and it took three more tries to finally get the firmware installed.

    upgrade failed aircraft type can't be retrieved

    Ray I think the Tech Support person wrote me off as another owner that has no idea of how to operate his equipment. Instead, I wish she had been a lot more inquisitive about what happened. It would be nice if someone explained the relationship between the compass and the GPS and how they...

    Hi Pat: When the moment happens there is soooo much Adrenalin flowing it is hard to keep things straight. I agree these are things that should be noted. Now that this has happened to me I will be more observant. As far as some of your questions go , I did not do a compass calibration prior to...

    Jeff: thanks, I was not overly impressed with the Tech support person I spoke with. She seemed not at all concerned about my issue. I had to push to get her to at least look at the telemetry log. Then I got an email opening the case and two minutes later another email closing the case as being...

    Well just got off the phone with Yuneec USA. Told me I should have done a compass calibration prior to take off. Apparently when you fly in different locations that are more than 10 miles apart, it is recommended. That was a new one for me?? Since the gimbal was broken, they recommended that I...

    I just experienced my first TB and eventual Crash. I took off after 10 minutes of allowing the H to acquire a lock on Satellites. H was locked on 14 ans ST was locked on to 12. I started the motors and took it up 70 feet so I could record the view around my backyard. I hovered for around five...
