Mine expires 2/28. I'll wait until the on line recurrent is available.

It's about time the FAA started doing this. They need to do a lot more before the dumb@$$ brigades finally get the idea that the FAA WILL fine you. I hardly ever post to YouTube mostly because I rarely fly for fun and my work stuff is exceedingly boring and the work product is owned by my...

FWIW, it might be worth looking at FCC Part 15.203 so you are at least aware of the legalities involved in modifying the antennas. Really only a likely issue if you are in an incident or accident, but still worth knowing about. (Only applies for US-based operators).

I happen to like the zoom. The 8X is a bit much, but the 2X and 4X is useful for me.

Cool. Clearlake is a great area. Lots of scenery! I lived up in Eureka for 3 years. Nice up there too.

Where in Norcal are you.?

The Yuneec NFZ list is very small. All are surface areas only of Class B and C airports. It is nothing like DJI and their overly aggressive and arbitrary geofencing.

"Dumb Battery"? You mean one that the user is responsible for using and maintaining correctly ? Sorry to sound harsh, but lipos are easy to care for and use and the "smart" nonsense is just that, nonsense that assumes you cannot figure it out for yourself.

I use golf club tape. Works great and stays stuck

AMA's latest gambit is the prayer that the FRIA concept in the RID NPRM will drive members to their door. I doubt it will. I have pretty much accepted that the hobby of flying RC airplanes and helis is pretty much over and will be gone in around 3 to 4 years. FAA repeated again this week that...

Welcome to H+ land. I love mine. I suggest spending some time with the augmented manual available in this thread: https://yuneecpilots.com/threads/typhoon-h-plus-manual.13092/ Much more detailed and an all around improvement over the stock manual.

ANd sometimes the same old noise from the local crow is predictable and annoying.

Another screed by Eagan. He is a long time AMA hater. Loves to point out faults but has done little himself other than to complain endlessly.

And those are only for the surface areas of each airport's airspace. That leaves a huge number of locations open to fly unlocking the NFZ.

My issues were TSA generated.
