We are missing a point. Autorotation becomes valuable when there is a possibility that the power system might fail separate from the flight surfaces. In the case of our drones, power systems don't fail. In fact, they are more likely to suffer a collision or destabilizing event. Instead of...

From what I am seeing, operating UAS as a business takes business sensibilities. Cost: capex and opex Capex: Drone, insurance, batteries, spare parts, containers, cameras, software Opex: Electricity, website hosting, vehicle operation cost, staff Amortization: 2 years Working days: 200...

Hi all, Interested in feedback regarding pricing for drone services. I see a great deal of reference to drone operations as being a profitable business model. I would love to see input on the numbers to support that. What parts of the drone operation are more profitable? What are effective...

Koala, Addison - best offer for what you are each selling?

When taking off, smart mode will rapidly launch the drone away if you are too close. Once flying, the drone will move in the direction of the right stick, regardless of orientation.

Smart move is evil. I accidentally put it on smart mode flying around a property. Trees border the property, but the Typhoon is rock solid. Then I noticed something weird. I pushed right stick forward. It was facing me, 200' away. It slid away a few feet. I released the stick. Before I had a...

Bought craft on eBay and I love it. I had a hard landing today. Accidentally hit "smart" mode and put it into a tree. Landing gear, three arms, bent gimbal and unseen damage. I do have YES. Seemed expensive when I got it. Cheaper than the cost of a new camera. I will post my experience, but...

My error. You are correct. I have the typhoon pro, and would like another either identical or the 520.

Following recent update to current firmware, the landing gear is now stubborn and doesn't want to go up in flight. The gear works, just not when I need it to. I have been flying with the gear down for a week. I will contact Yuneec and post updates.

Understood. I have H plus. Want slightly bigger with same general platform if possible. Flying is all coastline, windy, with natural and man-made obstacles. Slow and stable is a plus. I will likely buy it as a reserve machine.

Yes. I set an alert I my watch for 12 minutes once I get up as insurance. Gives me enough time to pay attention and get somewhere safe.

Interested in H520, open to condition and accessories (must be flight worthy). Willing to consider trade for Typhoon with realsense CGO3 and CGOET.

Does not have any inertia in those light blades. The stored energy in three large blades is traded for a flare at landing. The linkage to the blades is mechanical. Their pitch, angle of attack and thereby drag can be managed by a careful pilot. Molded, fixed pitch propellers won't flare, so, no...

That is exactly it. Thanks. Flying tomorrow to test. Thanks.
