If they actually melted, it may be some sort of cleaning agent or chemical that has melted them.

thonetor, you will probably find that CCC will not do what you are after. It is Curved Cable Cam, and this will plot a curved path between the two waypoints rather than a straight line.

Looks like the FAA is at least open to new ideas in the UAV area having issued a Restricted Airspace waiver to an organisation to offer drone services. Just thought that with all of the media negativity, this one would offer some hope for us all in the future. Daedalus Drone Services Awarded...

Thanks for that CraigCam. It must be that I have never bumped the right stick when powered up in all this time! I have had the right stick out of calibration on one occasion, but never come across this particular situation. Just shows how much there is to still learn about the 480.

Just as a follow up for anyone else with this problem. Flight went fine. I armed the motors and in idle mode tried deflecting the stick and there were no beeps. Took off and left the gear down at just above head height (nice open field) in case I needed to hand catch. I had full control in all...

Hmmm, strange, I have been flying the H for over a year and never noticed the beeping on right stick deflection before. Will see if it happens when the motors are armed. Thanks.

Westbur, Trim has not been set in this case. I have had the problem once before on H startup and re-calibrated as one of the sticks was not centering, but this is happening only when I deflect the stick (in either direction) with no trim values set. Will double check the trims, but I am almost...

Is it normal for the H to give rapid beeping when you touch the right stick with the motors turned off? It does not beep until I deflect the right stick. I have been into the "secret menu" and re-calibrated the ST16, but I still get the beeps with motors turned off (have not tried with the...

One of the other advantages of 4k footage as that is gives you some room to move with cropping and zooming in post production. With 4k source footage being output to 1080 you can zoom in quite a bit without losing resolution in the final output. If have found that finding the footage I want for...

Bob, A lot of the more advanced editing software allows for proxy editing. You import your 4k footage and it will create a lower resolution file specifically for editing and when exporting it will use the original footage to create the final file. This allows you to edit on low spec machines...

Posts by some people involved in the testing and creation of Data Pilot have indicated that it will not be possible for Data Pilot to be available for the Typhoon H480. It requires an ST16S (the new model) and the flight controller in the H480 is vastly different from the 520.

Interesting article on some development of generator systems. These guys have got 5 hours flight time with 2kg payload. GAIA 160 HYBRID-Fly Across Sea Bay Hope the tech filters down to the consumer level soon.

Any major purchases like the H, I just use the phone to take a pic of the receipt and the serial stickers for those times when I may need them.

I have experienced similar, but only with one particular SD card. I have several cards, all U3 cards and all the same brand, but one of them continually had the 2nd and 3rd file corrupted, even after switching off recording prior to shutting down the H. I no longer use that particular card for...
