    Stitching a Panorama

    Hey B. Scott, That is one heck of a cat!! Very cool.

    Longer lasting batteries

    That recommendation was from Wingshooter on the Carolina Dronz GiFi. Credit where due.

    Longer lasting batteries

    I checked tonight and see the price is now $128. The GiFi brand 7500 mAh is less expensive and has a higher mAh rating than the battery I listed above at 6000 mAh. I have also purchased stuff from Carolina Drone so if thewineguy has had a good experience with the GiFi and purchased from Carolina...

    Longer lasting batteries

    I also bought 2 of the Venom and am satisfied with performance and integrity. They were $137.98 each on E-Bay sold by wecommerce18. Venom 10C 3S 6000mAh 11.1V LiPO Battery for Yuneec Q500, Q500+, Q500 4K, Typhoon

    Battery charging.

    I rotate 4 batteries for my 4K and use the Venom ProDuo 80 watt aftermarket charger. The Yuneec charger still works fine but the Venom does 2 batteries at a time, charges, discharges, balances, has "storage" charge setting, and give me good readings of cell conditions. I also use it on RC car...

    OK totally off Topic

    What an incredible piece of functional art. It speaks highly of your abilities and dedication to perfection.

    OK totally off Topic

    That L1011-500 model is incredible. How much design and build time do you have in that beauty? The bikes are also very cool, but that bird is something very special. Is it a retractable gear?

    Nasty Pollen and Drone Control

    As an afterthought, if the pollen issue keeps you from drone flying 1-2 months a year in the spring and also likely a month or so in the fall, perhaps you might like to join us as Corvette owners so you can "fly" year round. Another fun hobby.

    Nasty Pollen and Drone Control

    Well since I live in South Carolina also on a large lot with ample pollen from all of the same sources as you, plus salt air from the ocean 2 miles away to add to that, I think as a Q500 4K pilot and a materials engineer with 40+ years in microelectronic component design and manufacturing and an...

    No wifi link using steadygrip and CG03 app

    I agree with RecceGuy - download the CGO app from I-tunes and not the Android app from Google (CGO3). I have the CGO on my I-Pad mini and I-Phone 6S and it solved all of the connection problems. On my Samsung Galaxy tablet, still have the CGO3 loaded and have the exact problem described above.

    Q500 4K batteries

    Generally the Lipo higher capacity batteries also weigh more and the ratio of increased power to flight time is not significantly different as the additional weight requires additional effort from the motors to carry the additional weight. Remember, with Lipo, increased continuous flight time...

    Battery and Charger Advice please

    60 to 90 minutes is normal for a flight discharged 500 4K Lipo battery to recharge and does not indicate any fault with your charger or battery. There are numerous articles specific to care, conditioning, and proper discharge and storing of these chemically unstable batteries. CC Rider's point...

    Q500 fell from the sky

    Having an issue with my CGO3 camera (new 12/27/2016) and it took Yuneec Customer Service 8 days to respond to my e-mail asking for help with the issue. The information they gave was good but slow response time.
