    Auto Take-off, Orbit Mode and Complete loss of Control. Horrible crash.

    As mentioned above, had never, ever called them before yesterday. Had no issues talking to them. I actually praise them for their responsiveness.

    However, again, gps issue was solved before the flight. As mentioned above, the gps was the one thing that was actually working during the “fatal” flight. Connection between st16 and the bird was the issue.

    No. Am in Miami, FL. And yes, got a hold of Yuneec CS USA twice with no wait. First was to tell about gps issue and calibration. 0 wait time. Second time was mid flight issue. Also got Angel on the line real quick. I have nothing bad to say about the CS from Yuneec.

    “Locked” is just a terminology of mine refering to the fact that the gps was ready. I actually waited some 20mins. Again, the only thing that was actually working was the gps. So gps, in my opinion, was not the issue.

    Sir, I believe you should try to read the post with just a little bit more attention. You obviously missed a few details.

    Yes. Everything you just described except KPI index... Yes, previous day to the crash, the gps on the bird was not able to lock into ready. It stood for more than 20mins at “acquiring” and was not able to fly. Tried to get a gps lock multiple times. Ran a calibration sequence the next day and...

    Yes. Read the manual and saw a few videos. Believe me, the aircraft was non responsive. Did calibrations(compass and accelerometer), finally acquired signal from 20 sats, etc., etc. The pregious day I tried to fly at the same place but the aircraft could not acquire the gps signal. Following...

    Yes, auto mode is smart mode. As a matter of fact, the agent asked me to switch the gps off and I immeditely did. However, it began to fly away, fly away... so I just turned the gps back on and it came back towards flying over my head. None of the controls worked. Believe me. I was helpless...

    So tI set the upper right button as on auto. Fired the rotors. Clicked on the “tasks” option and chose auto takeoff. Right slided the arrow to start the take off. It took off at a very high speed and went straight to a very high altitude. Than I chose task again and put into orbit mode. So...

    Dear All, I just went thru the craziest of happenings just a few minutes ago. Got my Typhoon H in the mail this last Tuesday. Attempted my first flight yesterday but I couldn't get a GPS lock: 'Signal Acquiring Issue". So I called Yuneec CS today and spoke to CS rep. named Angel. Told him...
