Hi there, If the problem you are experiencing is similar to this Then this is the fix. The issue is not the connector failing or the potentiometer. It is the oxidation forming on those gimbal connectors. There are 2 on each gimbal, making 4 in total. Unfortunately the QC in the materials...

Also wanted to add a lot of people experience this on the right stick. It is the orientation of that connector. Which results in drift and can also make landings difficult or prone to the drone toppling. The fault however is not limited to one internal connector. The mod should be done on...

Hi AH-1G, Yes I realise the dates but it is still worth noting what is actually the fault. The issue will re-occur because that is not the real long term fix you see. I have read a few threads where a lot of people spray contact cleaner on the pots and it appears to work. That's great short...

Hi, The issue can be resolved by spraying electrical contact cleaner on each of the gimbal contacts. Whilst oxidation can occur on the pots if they haven't been moved in a long, long time that is not really the main issue for this fault. In reality the sticks are moved regularly. The issue...

Ok so the tech blurb on the website says Control 1.6km/1 mile Video 1.6km/1 mile both FCC and CE That's in optimum conditions. I was a bit dubious the CE firmware would match that of the US but from your experience you have exceeded both by quite some margin. Its all far beyond I would...

Well they said it would be dependent on a variety of environmental conditions. Nothing concrete implied but those would be the realistic limits. So if you get over 3/4 times that EU range then thats really quite impressive !

So when I spoke with Yuneec they said US FW is up to 1.6Km and EU is around 500-800m If you hit over 2km on the EU firmware that really is quite something

2km ? Is that on the EU firmware ?

So while I have no intention of flying beyond VLOS at all I think my main issue would revolve around the chance of signal drop out and loss of control. I do travel into the EU and would like to fly over remote forests and coastal areas that I frequent. I'm not sure if the density of foliage and...

Thanks to you both for your informative responses. So, I have not experienced any noticeable video drop out whilst raising or lowering the landing gear. On that front the EU seems fine for me. However the increased power levels of the US firmware do intrigue me as that in theory should...

Hi, I can revert/use both firmwares with no restrictions because I have been given official files. They are not patched files. I currently have the EU firmware on it and I wanted to try the US but not entirely sure what I would gain. If it's illegal not exactly sure why and if it's worth it?

Hi all, I currently have the EU firmware installed on my Typhoon H. Have been given the US equivalent cgo3+gb_3.2.34_LC2_A_firmware_30234 for in case I travel abroad into the US but have been told this may be illegal to use in the EU ? It's an official version and have been told it is not...
