    I wonder if anyone had the same experience as I did flying in snow.

    It's been my experience that you should not try to fly the Typhoon H in fog. Fog is moisture. The Typhoon is electrical. Not a good combination. I sent my drone above the fog one time and by the time I brought it back, it was saturated with water droplets. Not good. I've had no problem in...

    Sad Day for a fellow pilot

    Regarding the toilet bowl experience....I surmised it's caused by being locked into a GPS location and is attempting to lock into it but keeps swirling around it. In the past, I've changed the height level and the toilet bowling stopped immediately.

    Start & stop button

    Thanks Matchy41, yes I should have stated I have the H480. Fascinating change between the two drones. In your opinion, is the H520 worth the bucks?

    Start & stop button

    It's quite difficult but not impossible to turn off the Typhoon H while in flight, but it takes much longer then 3 seconds. I usually do a hand catch, and because it is elevated above it's launch point, the Typhoon H will fight to NOT shut down. It's basically saying NO NO NO I'll crash...

    Staight line flying

    The CCC is the best way to guarantee a nice straight move along tracks. Even curving tracks. The other option is learning to fly your craft. With gentle nudges you can slowly adjust the flight to stay on path. It's taken a year for me to master flying in a straight line without CCC, but it...

    Attempted update

    My Typhoon H was received by Terrestrial Imaging Monday and was shipped Wednesday all repaired and running well. They test them all before sending them back. If you're drone goes down, Terrestrial Imaging understands your need for a quick turn-around and expedites repairs and shipping. Two...

    Attempted update

    In fact, Vertigo Drones, where I purchased my Typhoon H package, actually referred me to Terrestrial Imaging, and they're competitors. We have some great companies in the Yuneec hemisphere.

    My Typhoon H is bricked. Terrestrial Imaging has the code to "FLASH" the Typhoon to the original core code, then they'll be able to upload the latest firmware. Sent it out Friday. They say they can turn it around including testing in a day and send it back.

    Attempted update

    My problem is the flight controller 1.28 is not available on the US website. My machine is already bricked.....only the power light comes on. I've sent my unit to Terrestrial Imaging, they have obtained the Flash firmware to reset my drone. Never knew this was possible until now. All from...

    yeah they're both US. I tried to find the US version on the Yuneec site and there's nothing there. Thanks Bob!

    Attempted update

    Are you saying I can download the U.K. firmware update on my Typhoon H and it will work? My advanced is turned on and I found a PC I can use to manage the PC GUI.

    Attempted update

    That's exactly what's happening to me. Thanks! Unfortunately, I don't have a PC, I have a Mac, not sure this will be compatible. But will try in my in-laws computer. However, does it matter that this is coming from the UK? Will it still work for someone in the U.S. Or is there a US...

    CG03 Pro - CG03

    I gave that a try today.....now my Typhoon H does not light up when I turn it on. I cannot turn it off without taking out the battery. My ST-16 is recognizing the Typhoon but I can't even calibrate or re-bind.

    Attempted update

    I just tried to update my Typhoon H...I used wifi. All the lights are now out. I will not turn off unless I pull the battery. It is non-functioning and I have a shoot coming up soon....HELP! Any ideas folks? I attempted to update it as I could not use any of the intelligent functions. Watch...
