    Southern California Typhoon H Flyers

    I'm sort of local. I live in Lake Elsinore, but work in Mission Viejo. Haven't flown in awhile, partly because I only have one fresh battery and no budget to get more at the moment. Have you gotten a replacement for your stolen drone yet?

    Fly Away....... She gone forever!!!!

    Thieves! I hate thieves, we need to go back to the old time punishment of cutting off their hands! Guessing then video didn't provide a view of the car license plate. Not sure what they will do with it without a controller, can't just go to a store and buy one. The odds of knowing what they...

    What Effects Would High Altitude Have on the Drone?

    I was at location just over 3800 feet earlier in the year, compared to a little less than 1000 where I usually fly. The H seemed quite sluggish, in both climb and forward flight.

    H batteries.

    Got my H battery from YuneecSkins on Monday, charged it up because I thought I might get to fly the next morning, but between weather and work haven't had a chance to fly, so put it back in storage charge (took 3.5 hrs from full, guess I never did that before). I'll let you know as soon as I get...

    Yuneec Batteries

    I assume the bags aren't necessary for ground shipping, I'm just 470 miles south of you.

    Yuneec Batteries

    My H is now grounded due to all batteries puffed, plus IR values around 20, less than 5 minutes for most. Best I can get is about 8 minutes out of one of them, so it stays low and nearby. Will definitely buy a couple as soon as you have them! Appreciate all you do for us.

    USA - Bad drone legislation in the US

    Agree that the big problem is that most will not fly with a spotter (or even know they are supposed to, don't know what the instruction manual says). I did see a review that showed one of the features was the pause button, which nearly instantly stops the drone, appeared to work very well and...

    Pitch and Putt

    Nicely done. Not sure if it would be allowed, but if there are no people around, a shot taking off from a tee and flying like a ball would be cool.

    "Puffed" batteries - disposal source

    Thanks, there is one near me in California, and I have batteries to dispose of. I'll check it out, California tends to have rules different than the rest of the country........ :-(

    Has anyone found a way to "repair" Typhoon H arms?

    Based on the post above yours, you should be able to remove the two ends. And I know I've seen other posts that carbon fiber tubes are available. This one I think: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=SHINA+3K+Roll+Wrapped+10mm+Carbon+Fiber+Tube&ref=nb_sb_noss
