I believe I understand what you're referring to. The "center board" is generally called the Main Internal Frame. The frame is available from Vertigo for $25 (plus shipping) and comes with the nuts installed. You may want to check Ebay; I see the Frame and shells are available for auction now...

The change of direction I mentioned only applies to Smart Mode. I've never had an occasion to use "Follow me" so I'm not sure about how Real Sense behaves with regard to the Mode switch settings.

I think it may be worthwhile to point out that Real Sense changes the way the H performs. Normally, when you command the H to go forward or back or left or right it does these while the nose keeps pointing in the same direction. With RealSense activated the H first turns to face the direction...

I did locate a generic caution regarding operation around electrical equipment at the end of the manual. I can see a possible problem with a smartphone trying to communicate wit the ST16 via Wifi but I think this would have to be intentional. My prime suspect regarding flyaways remains the...

I'm always concerned about the cause of flyaways and had not considered possible interference from a nearby device. I pretty much consider the Real Sense version of the owner's manual the bible but haven't found the caution you cited. Am I looking in the wrong place or are you referencing a...

I would not recommend that you try to install this on your ST16. It is designed to be used on a smartphone. I hadn't considered it being used at the same time as the ST16 but I regularly have my smartphone with me and turned on while flying. Is there some prohibition against this in the...

While searching the Play Store for an audio checklist that could be used for drones I came across this: "Aviation Speech Checklist - Belgium Campus...". My search was inspired by a posting in the Typhoon H How to Forum but because of its universal applicability, I'm posting here. The app comes...

I checked the Android play Store for "Aviation Checklist" and came across "Aviation Speech Checklist - Belgium Campus..." which is under development. I haven't checked thoroughly but it has a Cessna 152 checklist that is vocal and ordered. After hearing the item to be checked you have to press...

Don't forget that the ST16 has to have a full data complement as well. It's not like a smartphone that can go online and get the data. Its requirements are the same as those of the drone

Your post suggested to me a smartphone app that I think would be worthwhile: a spoken checklist that would require a response such as "Check" before the next item on the list was announced. This would be beyond my capabilities to create.

It would be better to direct those questions to Steve Carr. He has far more experience with the H than I do. I had read over the thread and didn't see any mention of checking for mechanical damage after the crash so suggested doing so. To clarify I was thinking of something like a deformed or...

Rather than asking for details regarding the accident or a host of questions about what he'd done or where he'd flown during the "never" period I thought that checking for mechanical damage or misalignment would be worthwhile. I inferred, perhaps incorrectly, that prior to the accident he...

The Mercedes man and glitches aside, when you say "has never hovered in the one place since my last accident" suggests mechanical misalignment.

Let me begin by saying I have relatively little experience or empirical data to rely on. It seems that the most likely causes of the problem have been addressed but I'd like to mention that small accelerator or compass calibration errors could cause the problems you're experiencing. The...
