    Yuneec Typhoon Q500+ Motherboard

    Thanks for the prompt reply. Certainly food for thought. At the moment they will slide in and out of the battery compartment with a gentle push, so they are time limited. I will have to get the cover off and see what options suit me best, (OK with a soldering iron). Having said that, the...

    Yuneec Typhoon Q500+ Motherboard

    Hi... Your last paragraph is interesting. "I use normal (cheaper) LiPos in my Q500. It works fine. You have to be careful at each solder to be sure to get the polarity correct, including inserting the contacts in the correct place in the battery connector." Can you be more specific please. I...

    Need tablet info for the Mantis

    Pointing very strongly towards European S21 Ultra with Exynos chipset, or Android 12, Yuneec Pilot app, and/or combination of all 3. Think we can kiss goodbye to any app updates from Yuneec as they seem not to be interested in low end consumer stuff now. Ah well, at least I have a solution in...

    Need tablet info for the Mantis

    Thanks for your input and knowledge DoomMeister. I will keep comparing the 2 phones I have and if anything comes to light, I will share on here. So glad this resource is here. Thank you

    Need tablet info for the Mantis

    No, I am using the cable from the Mantis Q kit... USB A to USB C. I have tried other cables also of the same format which I know are data compatible. I intend to look into "USB Debugging" on my phone to check the USB port characteristics as mentioned earlier. Everything points back to the S21...

    Need tablet info for the Mantis

    Yes, tried airplane mode. Didn't appear to make any difference, apart from no calls etc. Never really looked into port priorities...just followed the set up and install for the app, agreeing to permissions etc.

    Need tablet info for the Mantis

    Yeh, thats the company that charges more for delivery than the cost of the part. Made a quick DIY bracket to try and I think the IPad option is too top heavy to be used comfortably. Anyway, now sorted. Bit the bullet and ordered a refurbished Samsung S9+ phone purely for the Mantis controller...

    Need tablet info for the Mantis

    Hi, I recently updated my Phone to a Galaxy S21 Ultra, and now suffer with the lack of live video feed. I have contacted Yuneec Europe, and have not got any response back yet. To be honest, I wasn't really expecting any. I contacted a UK supplier who told me Yuneec have pulled out of the...

    Quarantine Rules?... :)

    Photoshop?? That looks like a heavy lead. Also, I've never seen a dog be happy that close to a noisy drone

    Mantis Q battery balance lead??

    Thanks. I ended up getting a scrap breeze charger and dismantled it to get the connector out. Works a treat. Mick

    Max smartphone size??

    Thanks but off the clock price wise. £33 inc postage!! Find a cheap secondhand Breeze charger to take apart

    Balance / charger lead

    18 plus 15 postage makes it an expensive lead. I had seen it, but it bothered due to expense. It was cheaper to find a second hand breeze charger to dismember. Thanks all the same

    Max smartphone size??

    Looks good, but will it not be heavy and hence unbalanced a bit. Thinking about operating the controls whilst balancing the extra weight??

    Max smartphone size??

    OK, an update.... following on from your reply DoomMeister, I posted on this site for a second hand Breeze charger. Unfortunately no response. I then found a second hand one on Amazon uk for a real cheap price, so purchased it and sure enough the connectors are the same. I removed the connector...
