    One Month Battery Warranty, Really?

    I do not ignore the alert. I really don't even know what they have the alert set at but the first few times I flew it and waited for the alert the batteries were at 3.4 volts per cell after I landed and that's lower than I like. I also made sure I didn't fly too far away that first few flights...

    One Month Battery Warranty, Really?

    As Sticks said , your amperage draw is more when the quad is working harder , less if it isn't having to fight to stay level etc . Bottom line is what the lipo has left in it after you land . You never want to use more than 80% of total capacity . The Typhoon uses a 3 cell lipo battery and...

    One Month Battery Warranty, Really?

    You can land at first warning and still damage a lipo. It's all according to how conditions are and how long it took to actually land. Waiting on the warning is never good practice . One should always time the flights to land before each cell of a lipo reaches 3.7volts.

    Yuneec Q500 battery

    A bulging Lipo is a sign that it has been discharged too low during operation . How long do you fly ? Until the built in voltage monitor says it's time to land ? Until it lands itself due to low battery voltage ? The built in voltage meter is a failsafe and not a very reliable method of...

    VR goggles?

    Short answer is the Yuneec transmits video in 720p via a 5.8 WiFi signal whereas Fpv systems use a 5.8 standard radio signal. You can add the stand alone fpv camera and transmitter to the bird but it will add weight , a battery drain and transmit only in standard definition. Hope this helps.
