Reading this thread reminded me why I have been selling off all of my Yuneec products. I haven't posted about problems I've had with Yuneec but it's a similar situation encountered by the original poster, with really poor customer service. What finally tipped me to go selling off my Yuneec...

There is a lot of information about the perils of flying with damaged lipo's. Look at the MAAC or AMA safety guidelines. Once a lipo puffs, the chemistry in the battery is damaged. If you have a proper internal resistance meter you could measure it. I also fly a lot of rc fixed wing aircraft at...

I'm surprised that there aren't more defense facilities mentioned...oh wait....more to come.

Good point, but there seems to be a misconception that the advanced certification in Canada is for commercial use. You can do commercial work even with the basic certification in Canada. TC did away with the separate certification for commercial work. What the advanced certification allows you...

This is a tough and very personal question to answer. I can only offer you my personal view. I have 3 q500's, an older G gopro model and two 4k models of which I have only used one extensively, the other being my backup. I have had no real complaints; stable, reliable and great video from the...

Here is my modification using a 2200 2S Zippy compact. Fits into the space without issue.

If size is important, then I think you made the right choice. I have almost stopped using my q500's in favour of the smaller and more portable UAV's. Nothing attracts unwanted attention these days more than a big noisy quad in the sky....and for air travel...no way would I take an H or 500. I've...

Chances are that it was stored at full power, ie 100% charge. I was flying with a friend yesterday who had the same problem and indeed, he had stored it over the winter at full charge. Lipo's have a storage charge, namely, 3.84 v per cell...or roughly at 50% charge for long term storage. When...
