Crash Prevention-Typhoon H/H-Pro

[Yuneec Skins]

After Performing Nearly 60 Typhoon H/H-Pro Repairs, I thought I would Share some of the Causes and Issues I have encountered that have Caused Catastrophic Failures and Crashes.
I Feel Confident that 98% of Crashes could have been Prevented with Proper Instruction, Maintenance and Operation by Typhoon H & H-Pro Owners.
Feel Free to Correct Me, and Add any Additional Info.
I will continue to Add more to this Post, in my spare time.

Hi John,

Good point on hardware check, I went flying last week and I packed everything I needed into a small rucksack, which included the st 16s, so setup drone and took off and found drone was drifting left and no other problems.
I realised that on the walk to beach i must have put some pressure on the rhd joy stick.

Next time I will disconnect the battery in the controller ??.

Removing the battery will not prevent that. Give the sticks a good stir before your flight. Use the hardware monitor to make sure they come back to center when released and that they track your movements without lag or jitters.

Hi John,

Thank you for your work.! It’s so often the little things that one can forget when your just about to lift off, and concentrate has then shifted from “the working of the drone” to the “Flying and concentrating on safe, but enjoyable responsibility of a 6 blade unit flying through the air” [emoji576][emoji100][emoji100] [emoji1360][emoji1132]

Ive never seen a prop guard for an H. No way is that fitting in your back pak, lol

Awesome contribution John. It emphasizes the importance of consistently following a pre-flight check list including close inspection of the hardware.
Well done!
