I’m changing my answer to YES. Compass/GPS issues (after last FW upgrade *may or may not have anything to do with it) randomly at end of any given battery. Sent to repair as per Yuneec, and was gone for 2 months. I still have yet to test after repair due to inclement weather.

I'm thinking this has to be part of a bigger update, especially since it was 'found' and not advertised. I'd say the rest should come along any day now.

I too had heard reports of CS being quite good at Yuneec. However I'm sorry to say that my only experience thus far has been far from that. My unit was gone for 2 months. CS probably shouldn't state an expected turn around of 7-10 days directly when it's already been a month. Especially when you...

Having read some of the other posts on this I now always point it north on calibration, leave in that position on the ground for 10-15mins. Last night I was checking it out, powered up and got no sats on the bird (inside). To put this to rest in my mind I took it outside, sats a plenty (whew)...

If this had been in the summer, with whales and icebergs around, I'd have been loosing my mind at CS. Hoping for a good day soon to test it out.

The day has finally arrived! I have my drone back! I will be testing it as soon as I can weather permitting. I'm sure some will be glad this part of the thread is over. Let it serve as an example for those that have not had issue, what might be in store. I'm not hating on Yuneec, or Staples, but...

No contact, no change on the portal last I time I was logged on. Seems they have shut down users having access to that all together as I can’t log in anymore. Let’s what the week brings I guess. Over 2 months now in their hands with no sign of repair. Fun fun fun

*update* A few days ago I got an email from Brenda with the email for the supervisor at Staples Depot. So I emailed him after I spoke to Yuneec CS again by phone. “Hello, I was wondering if you have any timeline or info on the parts required to fix my yuneec drone. It arrived at your depot...

Yuneec CS looked at my telemetry and determined it to be a failed GPS/Compass.

Got this just now- Brenda at local Staples: "Hi I sent another email but I still have not received a reply. I will phone on Tuesday. ( I am off on Monday.)" Nice.... Stay tuned...

Brenda from Staples: "Hi I did received your email but I am not having any luck getting an answer for you. My tech was of for a couple of days and I was of yesterday and just getting to work for one today. I will work with him this afternoon and try to get you some information. I am working...

Nothing new, I've emailed the nice lady at Staples here locally again and told her I've not received any email from either party, including Yuneec CS. I expect I will her from her soon as she has been the most help in this. She said she would "escalate" things if I got no response. Will post...

Email sent to Staples local store manager today- "Hello, I had dropped off my drone to be sent to your repair depot in Mississauga last month. I have received info telling me it had arrived there on November 20th. Since then I have received no info regarding the state of repair or when it...

I believe the FW may have tripped an issue with the hardware, or cause a failure. Pure speculation, but it’s where I am with it.

I’m not in the habit of throwing more money at a manufacturers defect. Apparently Yuneec agrees with me and is accepting responsibility for the issue. It’s the time it’s taking and the two different stories from CS and Staples that I’m not happy about. Still no change as of today and no response...
