Yuneec says... based on the telemetry data this is a manufacturer error, I am shipping the drone in today to be replaced via UPS. They stated that they would first try to repair it; i advised them the battery and camera are literally gone-- the representative then said- "Oh, then yes they will...

I really wish I could but the battery is with the fish right now and I don't think I'll be able to get it out! That is good information to have. I'm 100% positive it was a full charge so I am betting on faulty battery also after reading your thoughts. Thanks for the input

Out of curiosity what kind of drone are you "moving up to"?

Haha, I am just obsessed about it. I had a dream last night I was falling from the sky into a river and the river was full of drones that I had bought. Counseling starts tomorrow morning.

I sent them the flight data they said processing time is about one business day they will review it and determine if it was pilot error or manufacturer defect I'm not sure how on earth it wouldn't be but I digress. She also told me that 85% of the time they are able to determine it is a...

The telemetry data reports in excel and is sort of possible to understand. Some of it I admit I have no idea what it means but it displays altitude batter voltage how many satellites you have etc. pretty cool

I can believe that especially with wind. In this scenario maybe 5mph wind? And not much action flying the drone mostly hovering and doing camera work.

uh oh folks looks like we have a know it all on our hands. I am very familiar with drone aircraft and this is the 3rd model I've flown. Things in life I've spent 1400$ on and had them break this fast... Hmm nope this is it. Also pretty ******* comment to tell that guy to find a more affordable...

Yes! My biggest concern is ok you fix this or replace it because what was recovered from the river is trashed... How do I know the next one won't do the exact same thing? What caused this? Sorry you're going through this as well

Definitely- I was on a. Full charge and less Than 10 minutes In on the flight with almost no wind and mostly hovering.

Battery was definitely latched properly and I had received no warning regarding battery. Usually when it starts beeping and saying low- even if it has 5 more Minutes left I land it. I am wondering if the battery junked out? That's the only explanation it's like the power flickered for just a...

All calibrations were done... it was the 12th? flight since the new drone had been received. Since I started flying the Yuneec Typhoon H in early June between the two units I have about 30 flights in and feel very confident in being able to handle the unit. At the time of the crash it was almost...

Flying my Typhoon H today- (replacement sent by Yuneec as the first one had an issue right out of the box). I am flying over a river 75 feet up, 300 feet away- getting amazing footage. Lots of action on the river, boats/kayaks/tubes etc... I have been flying for 8 minutes... on a full charge...

My replacement drone arrived today ups. Sorry "bud". Squeaky wheel gets the oil- I called about half a dozen times, escalated to their customer service management who ultimately agreed to the swap. Happy flying

Bad news... I get all green ticks on the GUI. Motor still doesn't spin. Yuneec says ship it to us we'll have it back you within 3 weeks. I am currently escalating- that doesn't fly with me. 1400$ purchase lasts 7 days before breaking. I asked them to ship me a replacement and I will send them...
