Great news, I'll take two. About 6K dollars?

this is going to be great just waiting on my fully paid h520 preorder to come in. I want to see if terrestrial imaging correct about the battery info.

Bob520 · Aug 17, 2017

Can I just get 6 of the batteries. I've heard rumors...

Bob, It may take a dozen to power your 520 car. Know what I mean?

For us Navy types it is an Ensign and it is at the aft of the ship where it should be. Full speed ahead.

Excellent info, first published data I've seen (Europe). Thanks for your post, @oliver. Got us back on track.

For the sake of going off track again, for you Navy types, where did you put the Gadsden ensign?

PDF says Quadcore processor.

ADDITION: Nobody is talking anything about obstacle avoidance on this drone. No word in this PDF either. I mean, really this should be a standard by now.

Further more, about this support plans.....it says 1 year warranty. What does this means, is this additional year or what ? In EU 2 year warranty is standard as I recall , for this type of products. So is this like additional year or what ?

looks like some bigbox store going to carry this namely tiger direct found here http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5688711 3579.99 for the e90 camera combo

seabee · Aug 20, 2017

terrence davidson · Aug 20, 2017

i checked with BBB. I personally know nothing about TigerDirect. I personally do know VertigoDrones is reputable and an authorized dealer.

If you've seen the images of the 520 or the teaser video, you probably noticed the two black eyes on the front of the airframe. I won't get into detail about what or how they work but, that's your OBS.

If you read everything about the 520 that has been "leaked" your head will explode from all the incorrect information. Everything will be delivered from Yuneec when the UAV (drone, sUAS, UAS, RPV, RPA, or whatever it's called this week) is delivered. Speculation just causes problems on delivery. Trust me when I say there are many teams working together to get everything finalized and out the door. There are still features and nice to have items being added to the software system everyday, and a couple of test teams working feverishly to delivery a platform worth operating in the commercial space.

On the longer flag pole at home. Took the short one out that day.

Yeah, but what about RealSense ? These sonars are not as good as RealSense.

At this point I am not sure a real sense module will be available for the 520. None of the recent images of videos I've seen have 520s with the RS installed. My guess is there won't be an RS module and the TH ones won't be programmed for the 520.

Weird because you would expect that drone superior to Typhoon H would have advanced obstacle avoidance system and not actually inferior one.
