Hi, my name is James and I live in the northwestern part of Arizona.
I've been building and flying multi-rotors for a few years now and have been somewhat active on the Phantom Pilots forum as well (not so much recently though).
I really like hexacopters and prefer building my own and typically use APM flight controllers (like the Pixhawk), and also do home built quads (including racing hexes & quads). But I do own a few store bought quads from DJI, Cheerson, etc. as well.
I'd been interested in a Yunteec since they were introduced but they were pretty much redundant to what I already own, though I was pretty interested in the Typhoon H Pro because of the RealSense technology. But it's been way too far out of my price range (why do you think I build hexes myself!).
But B+H Photo has them on sale for today only (June 28th) for $999 with free shipping so I jumped on it! It's the new package (not refurbished) with the Typhoon H Pro and includes Intel RealSense, ST16 Transmitter, CGO3+ Camera Gimbal, Two Flight Batteries, Propellers, Charging Accessories, Wizard, & Soft Backpack.
I should have this in my hands on Monday, right before the 4th of July and I'm pretty excited!!
I'm hoping to learn more about the Typhoon H's abilities and limitation and to find ways to tweak the Typhoon for better performance as well as accessories to help it to fly, such as 3rd party batteries or how to use a regular Lipos (such as a 10,000 mAh 4S that I have) since Yuneec doesn't use smart batteries. I ordered the prop guards for the hex as they've saved my butt more than once!! I was also impressed with the Yuneec's design for the prop guards, I hope they deliver the goods though!
