    Tx firmware benefits

    I see my firmware version on my ST10 + is probably the original. If I update to the latest firmware on the ST10 + would any real benefits make it worth the upgrade? Also, can you jump to the latest firmware or do you have to follow a sequence of firmware upgrades? On Yuneec skins I...

    Gui question Q500 4k

    Thank you, makes sense now. Flight today was a good test, it was rock solid hovering, no wandering and the test photos I took seemed very good, level horizon. Nice having this bird in the air again.

    Gui question Q500 4k

    I was airborne today for the first time in several years with the Q500 4k typhoon. Calibrated compass and did a short low altitude flight. All went well despite the temperature outside being 10f Back home I wanted to adjust the ceiling height and max distance on the gui. On the gui I...

    Firmware Question

    Q500 4k is working and ready to go. I checked firmware on the cgo3, q500, St10+, and all are running old firmware versions. Should I update all firmware or just use as it as is? I hate to do update and end up bricking if it doesn't go well. Thank you.

    Resurrection Q500 4k

    Looks like I have camera connection perfectly, but no telemetry , can't start motors with red button, and no camera tilt control with slider. I'm guessing I might have to rebind the Q500, but not the camera? Any suggestions? Or should I just wait until I can try all this outdoors...

    Resurrection Q500 4k

    Not sure, maybe because I'm inside, but I have a live camera view on my st10+, but when testing the tilt down and tilt up slider bar on st10, I get a beep but camera doesn't move up or down, stays perfectly flat ,looking straight ahead.

    Resurrection Q500 4k

    Well, after 6 long years in hibernation, the Q500 is up and running, all system checks on the GUI look good. I'll wait and do my compass calibration outdoors in an open area. Also, the camera initiated with no problems, and the ST10+ / Q500 still get along with each other with a firm...

    Resurrection Q500 4k

    Hi Steve. As of now,I have calibrated the ST10+, all stick inputs passed as well as the other functions. Once the Q 500 battery arrives, I plan to run some tests through the GUI. If the tests look good, next step would be a long gps accusation session..like you stated ,10-15 mins. Next step...

    Resurrection Q500 4k

    I have a Q500 4k that has been in storage for 6 years. I removed the batteries from the Q500 & ST10+ at that time. I thought it would be fun to wake this bird up from hibernation and fly it again. I have a new q500 battery on the way as the one in storage for 6yrs doesn't seem to charge . The...
