Well mission complete for the day, although I want to mention a slight struggle I had. Me and the wife loaded up and went to the lake to get some air time and upon arrival when getting the drone ready for flight I began getting 'Geomagnetic interference and was prompted to re calibrate the...

One thing I want to mention, I was going to test without any update to the drone but as I did my initial compass calibration, the first rotation caused the landing gear to raise! I literally tried the remote to put them back down and no luck. I had to perform the calibration again and on the...

Thanks for the responses guys. So actually it seemed this drone was naked and was showing no current firmware at all! Now I am not sure how that is a thing, but the remote was completely updated and the bird and camera required an update which I did. I then calibrated the compass and took the...

Update: H Plus delivered today, everything appears intact. Currently charging the batteries and biting at the bit. How would you folks approach firmware update? (Obviously I need to see what is currently on it) Would you take the 'If its not broke don't fix it' route or should I update to a...

Hey, thanks Johnny! Any recommendations? Whats your opinion on the DY5?

WTFD, please add the new guy. Philbo Typhoon H+ Kansas City, MO. Standard Blue icon.

Thanks Tom. I purchased an aftermarket battery online, 'MaximalPower Drone Battery 7900mAh 4s/15.2v Lithium-Polymer'. Will this battery charge with the drone kit's included charger? Thanks in advance Tom.

Thank you, Yes I have already downloaded this and read through it. I have it readily available for quick reference. Thanks for the tip!

Copy that, thanks for the advice!

Thanks DoomMeister. My real concern came from my inability to find much recent information on the current status of the company, and after swiping the debit card to boot! Quick update, the status of my order is 'Complete' and I have been issued a tracking number so I will report more when it...

Thanks John. So when I decided I was purchasing one of these units I went to the Yuneec website and they showed the H+ package they offer, in-stock. I purchased and continued to research the drone. (Kinda *** backwards I know...) Anywho, I came across this forum and began seeing the us story...

Will do! Thank you for the response DoomMeister.
