*****As this thread progressed, and while I was sure that it was a firmware update that caused my problem, it was only user error. It all gets explained on page 2 at comment #38 as I end up eating some crow.*****
This is mostly a rant.
I can now say with 100% certainty, that what is the cause of the Typhoon H to flip over, or roll over to one side while landing, is caused by the last firmware update. I know of all the things that have been posted on here about it. I have read it all, and been involved in some of the discussions, as well as the possible remedies people have put out there. After today though, it is the firmware.
A friend of mine liked the drone I have after hearing me rave about it. After seeing the footage and the way it flew, he bought one as they were on sale. So we went out today to do some flying as I have 3 new batteries I wanted to test out. I made 12 short flights that were good with no issues, and his were also fine. But here is the difference, he has the previous firmware, and mine has the current.
Every landing I did, no matter how many different ways I tried to land ( 12 ), they all resulted in the drone flipping to one side and busting a prop each time, thank goodness for the spare blades I no longer have. But when we landed the drone he has, the H set down like a gentle feather.
I remember when I first got my H, it had the old firmware. I could land it like I was landing on feathers, you could bring it down ever so slowly, inching it till touch down. New firmware.....KAPOW! We kept landing and taking off with his without a hitch, mine.....KAPOW!
So people can say and believe what they want, it is the firmware that is doing it, perhaps it is not as aggressive on every H, but with mine it is very aggressive. An Actual landing is now out of the case, going to have to learn to catch it.
BTW....yes, everything was calibrated before flying, and between flights. Nothing is or was messed up in the ST16. Wind conditions were minimal, and temp outside was good.
Time to get on the phone and open a discussion with Yuneec I'm thinking.
Just my two Canadian cents.
