We're hosting the Super Bowl with tons of activities going on in the city and all I want to do is get more stick time with my Typhoon H.

You've contracted the drone pilot's most contagious medical condition called "Michael Jordan Syndrome." All you want is air time!!
Good luck.
You probably already know there is a temporary 30 mile radius NFZ from the stadium outward. Be careful.

Hey there. Im in Houston as well. Im meeting a group of pilots today in sienna plantation to just do some flying. Kind of a bland place to fly but it gets you in the air. Let me know if you wanna go. We are meeting at 10 am

I did get lucky - didn't know the NFZ was that large. Since I'm so new at this, I'm staying a pretty good distance from most structures. Still a bit nervous about crashing or having it not return to me when I want it.
Hi Bill,
Just seeing your post. I'm not too far from Sienna Plantation. I'm in the Richmond/Sugar Land/Katy area. I ended-up in George Bush Park. It's a huge area. As I build my confidence in the equipment and my experience, I think that will be a great.
Do you guys meet there often?

How did it go?
Prior to updating my firmware, my last flight was very strange. The H was doing its own thing, I had to bring it in on a hot landing as it was looking like it was about to "fly away". Scared the crap out of me as I was not far from water and maybe a couple of hundred yards from some high-power lines. I landed that puppy boxed it up and started reading everything I could find. All of my switches were in their normal positions and I hadn't monkey with any of the settings so I was really perplexed!
I've since updated my firmware and have done all but the compass calibration - hadn't been outside for that one. I have to get a few things done and then I'm going to try to get to Bush park to see what happens.
What kind of flying time are you getting with the stock batteries? Have you purchased others?

Stock batteries are about 15 to 18 min. Just ordered a morpower brand on amazon. Looking to see how that works.

I'm getting about the same on the stock batteries. The higher capacity batteries are giving me 21-22 minutes. It is just a few more minutes but it seems much longer and it is great to have extra flight time. I was hoping to get some stick time in this weekend but it isn't looking to promising with all this rain.

I'm using Venom batteries - the 6700mAH ones. I can't remember if I purchased them on Amazon or directly from thei website (www.venompower.com)
They come with a very good warranty.

I just ordered a morpilot from amazon. I should get it Monday. Gonna try it and see how it works. The venom should be good batteries.
