    Losing video feed a few seconds into flight

    Seagull, I have been going through several checks with various spare parts I have acquired for this bird. I also have a SOLO drone, and it uses the GoPro also, so I have two cams. Both exhibit the same symptoms. I have found the 3.0 FW and have reverted cam 1 with success. Another possible...

    Losing video feed a few seconds into flight

    Hi Seagull, Sad to hear you're having trouble. If you updated the firmware on your GoPro to version 4.0, this is probably why. If it is still on 3.0, leave it alone. The USB port on the GoPro doesn't output signal with 4.0 and you won't have video feed. I too have a Q500G and I didn't check...

    Prop flew Off

    Makes me want to start using some blue Loc-tite on the motor shafts now......ugh. I was put off with the difficulty level of having to update the FW/SW when I first opened the box. Still trying to mentally force myself past that one and just have fun flying this thing. Which, if I recall, was...

    Steadygrip with gopro

    Any luck with this part search? Best I can find so far is on eBay here Yuneec USA Yuneec GB203 Gimbal only YUNGB203 $300 seems a bit high. Seems to me the Yuneec web site should sell them too.

    Typhoon g parts....

    I had the same happen. pulled a wire from the back side of the board. Cant just buy the part from Yuneec. UGH. I had to send the gimbal to the factory. I haven't heard back on the status. If the factory can't repair it, I'm thinking of trying carolinadrones.com and maybe they sell the board...

    Anyone fly without the landing skids / landing gear?

    Works for me. As you say, concentration is key, although if you still have all ten fingers attached, I hope they stay that way. Truthfully, I don't like the way the Typhoon "bounces" when landing due to ground effects? My other bird DOESN'T do this, so this method of retrieval should add...

    Prop flew Off

    Hey Nick, I had a prop come off while the bird was sitting on the kitchen table. I just picked up a Q500-G last friday. I was tinkering with loading the latest software, putting different parts together, etc, before the first flight. I also wanted to check the power it has as compared to my...
