    Maiden Flight ....I'm Ready

    That's interesting I get my first battery warning at 14.3 not the second. Is it different in Europe?

    Finally it happened

    The car industry has a lobby, even the weapon industry has a (even stronger) lobby. And the drone industry? None. That's why politicians will first focus on the drones. And stories like this will not make it easier for us.

    Finally it happened

    Unfortunately apparently not a rumour. Here Drone hits passenger plane in Canada Even Canadian transport minister gave a statement. I see trouble ahead.

    Finally it happened

    Hi all, I heard that a drone crashed into a passenger plane in Canada. Does anybody from our Canadian friends have some details? Thanks and cheers

    My bird got nuts

    Hi All, Yep I have the European firmware on board as I live in Switzerland. Losing the camera connection is more a pain in the neck than an issue, but this time the drone seemed to go into RTH mode. For the other question I have about 50 to 60 flights with my typhoon which I bought about one...

    My bird got nuts

    That was a strange flight today. First when I took off an retracted the gear I lost the video connection which is unfortunately not uncommon. What was new was that thereafter it went up to 60 meters and I completely lost control. The gear was lowered again by the bird so I guess it went in...

    I Joined the Ranks Today

    That's why I always (except when flying in manual flight mode) catch the drone by my hand. Good to read that you could repair and fix your bird. Cheers

    Yuneec should have fixed it the first time!

    Hi, I have the same issue and programmed J2 in a way that it is not causing any problems (+/- 10% idle zone). But reading this I can fix the root cause. Are there any YouTube instructions that shows how? Thanks and cheers

    Flew Typhoon G today with no GPS. Just a little test flight

    Indeed! I just come back from vacations in the beautiful Swiss mountains. Carried the Typhoon H up to 8000ft to a glacier and was not able to start the drone because I've got no GPS lock. I didn't dared to started without GPS as it was also very windy, but I do agree this is something that needs...

    Holding an angry bird by the tail

    The latest autopilot firmware would not let the motors going on idle unless the drone had landed. So if you handcatch she still thinks - and is right - that she's still in the air. Hence pulling down the stick has no meaning to her. As others wrote, just push the red button and you're done

    FIRST FLIGHT - omg !!!!

    I remember the first flight, the Typhoon was not flying straight (which made me even more nervous) and found out that it was my thumbs shaking on the sticks. :D

    Problems grabing the bird.

    No need to pull down the altitude stick. Grab the drone and push immediately the red power off button. Idle the motors seems not to be possible anymore with firmware V3.0

    Battery lifetime

    Dear All, Happy new year to everyone! I've read that the battery lifetime is limited and lasts about 100 cycles. What happens then? Will it fail suddenly so the typhoon falls out of the air or do we just notice shorter flight times? Is there a way to check the power supply? Thank you...

    Fly straight you bug#er!

    I am usually using curved cable cam and occasionally point of interest / orbit and do not have any problems with it. I tried journey once but didn't find it very useful

    Fly straight you bug#er!

    That's a good video. But keep in mind once you have catched the Typhoon don't try to idle the motors when you have the latest firmware installed. This is not working anymore. Instead push right away the red button. Even easier. Cheers T
