I don't give a flying EFF about getting it replaced or fixed at this point. It needs a $50 arm and from what I can tell the camera is only pulled away from the gimbal dampeners, but appears to be fully operational.
It's dumbass know-nothings about writing code who make statements like yours. Any 1st year programmer would be taught to prevent an event that shouldn't occur if the operator tries to override it. The H would fail a basic software safety inspection.
Smart mode is a complete and utter disaster. I used it once and knew right away it had potential for disaster.
For the record, I very much like the Typhoon H, but if Yuneec doesn't get a handle on creating better instructions and fix some of this odd behavior buried in the code, it will irreparably damage their reputation.
Not one of you have provided one single sentence that states or implies the H must be off the ground when engaging Journey mode. Instead, you have written your own instructions that share no resemblance to the H manual.
