Hi everyone! I bought My H for fathers day this yr and have about 68 flights and 2 crashes under my belt so I thought it was about time I posted something!
Before anyone says "upload the telemetry" I just have a quick couple of questions.
1) Both of my batteries are swollen, they came with the drone. 1 gives about 7-10 minutes the other10-15minutes. I trust neither and am in the market for quality replacements. My first question is have we found that "1" factory spec or better replacement yet? I really dont want to "cobble" batteries and makeshift harnesses together if there is an alternative.
2) Took her up the other day but before I did I took a minute or so to really look at my St 16 especially the altimeter and distance. Both fluctuated!!! let me take this time to say I neither moved the controller nor myself. When I say fluctuate I mean like 3-4ft in altitude and 10 or more in distance!!! I read somewhere else where a pilot said he would let his drone sit for a few minutes just so it could aclimate itself to its surroundings. Is this normal? Just for the record I fly this place often and I always do a compass calibration 1st, because my drone seems to require one. I admit I dont always do the altimeter. I cant wait to read the groups responses. Thanks Guys, and Gals!
