I'm running Mac IOS, so doesn't look like that firmware will do me any good...unless I've missed something.

Not so much spare parts, I'm actually planning on getting it flight worthy very soon. It really just requires a new receiver harness wired into place and a GPS antenna re-mounted. I may choose to sell one of them ready-to-fly with a ST10+ transmitter soon, but I want to fly them both for a while...

I’ve had a very disappointing time trying to get the controller to work for me. At best, after numerous attempts to sync everything up between Breeze, IPhone 7 and controller, I have flight control but no ability to tilt the gimbal. I’ve followed all the threads and tried lots of different...

I’m not going to lie....I tried ordering the leads again from the same seller...thinking I might get more batteries....I got the leads instead! Needed them anyway, so now I’m all set up to use my Venom ProDuo charger.

I’m impressed with the flight performance of my Q500, the variable speed control is a useful feature. About to add the Itelite antenna modification to the ST-10+ controller. I also had a bit of a windfall from Amazon, I ordered two Yuneec balance charging leads to use with my programmable LiPo...

I just checked the Yuneec site, The Typhoon 4K (Q500) is still listed: Yuneec Typhoon 4K | Quadcopter Drone with 4K Camera

You need to keep in mind the Blade Chroma quadcopters are 3+ years old at this point....a veritable time warp in technology by today’s standards. That being said, they sold a ton of them and they are really nifty machines.... basically the smaller cousin of the Yuneec Q500. Offered with several...

I picked up two Chroma drones recently, just finished transplanting all the running gear of #1 into a new body due to a crack on the arm of original. The second one is still on the bench. I gave #1 a whirl this morning....flew through 3 batteries (without camera) to thoroughly test it out. I...

Just rebuilt one of my Blade Chroma quadcopters into a new body after discovering a crack on one of the arms. Took it up for 3 test flights today, without a camera, well over an hour in the air total....flying great. I put the Yuneec Breeze up in a hover and orbit to shoot some video while...

As my collection of flying money suckers increases, the battery count is also rising. In order to track the various states of charge/discharge/balance I was about to start a dedicated notebook to keep with the chargers......Until I discovered an App that was available for free that tracks LiPo...

The claw is a neat bit of design, lots of other variations of it on Thingiverse.com too. I’m planning on some more extensive flights with payloads, but trying not to exceed 400 grams. The CGO3 camera/gimbal unit weighs in at about 200g, so if it's removed, the Q is only lifting and additional...

Thanks for heads up. The camera was removed to help offset the added weight of the lift.... as you can see in the video it was only carrying the additional weight briefly. And to quite honest, I bought this Q500 for very little money just to experiment with. I have other multirotors that have...

Anyone have any extra balance leads for a Q500 battery? I guess these are just basically 3S LiPo balance extension cords with male and female ends? I should just order some of those from Amazon.

Fixed... I had it set to ~private~ by mistake

Hmmm....I’ll check the settings and get it sorted, thanks!
