First crash done...

[Eric]

Too fast, too confident, too much trees, it's all my fault.
I use to practice on a field where the grass is high, so the H falled from 2 meters after one of the propeller has touched as small tree. The accident is not so horrible but here is the visual result :

- 3 propellers broken
- the gimble was ejected and the superior part (the rail for fastening) is broken.

So I replaced the propellers, and started the motors. They are all turning (didn't took off at this time)
Now I don't know if I can fix the broken part of the gimble by myself (I don't know if the gimble is OK either).
Anybody knows if that piece can be ordered separately ?
Anybody has an other solution ?

You will have to order it from Yuneec or wherever you bought your H.

I have emailed to yuneec deutschland (I'm french) and now I'm waiting for an answer

Sure you can purchase the upper gimbal piece and I bet it will be a plug to the pins, not a solder job! Yuneec will let you know, call em ! Sorry! guess you did not have Obstacle Avoidance ? may have helped avoid it, I do not use it, but I never fly by obstacles 90% of the time!

No indeed Obstacle Avoidance was off... What a stupid guy I am.
I'm going to try to make a system with wires by myself just to fix the contatcs and test if the gimgle still work

Yes at 22km it could help avoid some pitfalls. That rail could be a problem. You may need to send the aircraft in for repairs. The camara looked ok.

I think the aircraft is OK. I started it, all sensors give me informations. It's really just the gimble

 

[Eric]

I have just made a flight without the gimble. I made some heavy moves, I tested stability, everything is OK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So now, let's deal with the gimble...

 

[Eric]

Now I have just tested the gimble, keeping it pluged to the drone with... my hand ! And it's works, So now I can nearly confirmed, only the plastic rail is broken... pfffffff
Repairing won't cost a lot, but finding that piece seems to be very hard

 

[DroneClone]

Good !

Yes, just Gorilla glue a piece of plastic edging onto the 2/3 section that broke off, if you can't find it and fly till you get the new one!

I ordered that piece from Yuneec...$4.95 plus shipping
I ordered two since they are cheap and shipping is the same
Typhoon H Crash Impact Damage - Yuneec did a good job - Impressive!
Someone ordered from England and said they are about 12 pounds ( however you say in in that currency)

Is that to say that the metal contact connectors are how the drone communicates with the camera, not the wire? I saw something in another forum for another Yuneec drone saying those metal contacts don't do anything. The gimbal broke off my Typhoon H as well, I'm hoping that it's as easy as replacing the plastic piece that holds the gimbal on...

They do "everything" !

Oh wow, happy to find that out. There is a little wire sticking out of the drone about where the gimbal should be, but I don't see anywhere on the gimbal that looks like that wire should connect or go into it. Do you know what that wire is?

It's a antenna wire, you should have two in different locations
