Here to learn, and hopefully to later be able to share knowledge about the Yuneec drones. A week ago I did not own a drone, today I have 5, a used Q500 4K, a crashed Teeggi X35 which I repaired, and 3 throw-away toy drones. I recently purchased the Q500 4K, with aftermarket case and all the standard accessories. I flew the Q500 for the first time yesterday (5-8-21). Nervous, I was, and probably will be for some time to come. I made some labels for it, the FAA registration number, and just in case, a, "REWARD IF FOUND; CALL XXX-XXX-XXXX." After confirming the drone was operational I ordered a couple of 6000mah Venom batteries and an EV-PEAK DY1 dual battery balance-charger. Hopefully the additional new batteries will give me the air time to perform the tasks for which I purchase the drone...

I wonder if buying a drone that, "Looks Like New," with flight logs that confirm very little air time, is going to work out. In looking for spare/replacement batteries and other parts for both the controller and drone it seems the batteries are either scarce or exceedingly costly. I guess I'll be flying as much as possible, if this - Bleep, Bleep, Bleep - wind ever lets up.

Yesterday for the first time I heard the same beeps. I turned the craft off and restarted it and it stopped. Why? someone here knows for sure. It's probably in the manual and once again someone will be along. I would like to know also.

For me it was the q500 that I mentioned I fixed with help. Are you referring to my beeps or the other gentleman's. I am not worried honest, I just would like to know something.

Following that link shows, "Out of Stock." I've got a couple of Venom 6000mah batteries ordered on eBay.

Did you take the battery out and push back in? That worked for me after I heard the BLEEP and it hasn't happened again. Luck? dunno.

The, "Bleep, Bleep, Bleep - wind" wasn't about a noise the drone or controller was making. It was me uttering obscenities about the wind blowing 20 to 30 miles an hour when I wanted to try out my new-to-me drone.
