Horror typhoon h

Ive had no issues with my H. But if folks are then they should be contacting yuneec support and posting here afterwards and keeping us updated. I apologize for folks that are having issues with their H's but please keep us updated on the customer support yuneec provides.
I just watched a video on Youtube for wind test on the H. A guy named Ming Lou (he does some pretty wild things with the H) explained that during a storm low air pressure will cause the H to descend. I wonder if mine was just the opposite. I'll attempt more tests when I have time, and in better weather. Here's the link:
Funny that Wifi is ONLY the camera link. The RC control is on something else (and different frequency)
If you lose wifi you have 3 options:
Good chance you'll lose Wifi 1st before R/C. Folks moving over to a YTH need to be educated about this. This was actually an old rule from Team Black Sheep Days (lose video 1st vs control to prevent fly aways) and video/telemetry is a good candidate to act as a watchdog & still have control [for you industrial automation types].
This thread is somewhat funny: Is it R.C. (hint) converted to a [Chinese] R.K.?
If you lose wifi you have 3 options:
- Flip the return to home switch (best). Or...
- Let go of the sticks. It should be in position hold. Look at the ST16 screen as it will show you an arrow pointing where home is before lost wifi (with the frozen video), move your stick in that orientation (point the roll/pitch stick in the direction of the arrow). Now If you lost GPS too, then it will go into angle mode w/disabled GPS. This will still work for flying, but now you'll need to worry about orientation and altitude too as you bring it back.
- Just land it in place.

Kenny had to go........................... he has 4 hungry children and a crop in the field.
I had the samething happen to me today when trying to land. When I first got it I tried to take off and the **** thing flew sideways flew into a wall and broke two props.I have the phantom 4 and would say I'm pretty good at flying so I don't know what happen
You had it in safe mode. Switch to angle.... That's why it took of sideways at takeoff...
READ THE MANUAL BEFORE FLYING !!! Smart Mode has a 26' Circle around it! If you try to take off/land inside this 26' circle in Smart Mode, it will fly at any direction it chooses to get outside this "Twenty six foot circle of death" Not pointing a finger at anyone, nor belittling anyone. But 90% or more of the issues of my H won't do this, or My H does this, or my H crashed into my house or tree or car or mother in law, Is just plain simple not following directions and common sense and above all NOT READING THE MANUALS or VIDEOES
Exactly the same thing happened to me on my first flight. It's never happened again in over 40 flights. I wonder what that was all about?
Not Smart Mode, I knew all about that - Could be Wifi interference but not had the problem since 1st flight - I did compass calibration AFTER 1st flight, so I guess that is a likely suspect? Don't know........
Yes! I am! he's a very experienced pilot and takes his H to her limits to show what she can and can not do ! If you have seen his videos from start to finish you could learn alot!
Payback is a ***** ! I pray non of you have a fly away , and dare post it on here, with or without flight data !
Ming, Yes. Being a good pilot and having informative video's was my response.
Drewster, I had a similar experience with YTH #2. It had a compass calibration before even being flown and was not in Smart mode, just did not want to come down and finally just kept holding throttle down and it slowly came down and I had to kill power as quick as I could when touching down because it did not want to stay there. I have a thread about it (something like the lines "I almost just crashed!"). I did another compass calibration after that ("just in case") and have never had that happen again in the subsequent 20 or so flights. Tim from Yuneec reached out to me after seeing my post to find out if I was still having issues as he wanted an engineer to look into it but it never happened again. There can be lots of guesses as to why happened but they are just that, guesses. I think sometimes these things are possessed, but that's just me!
