All the bullet sweating is finally over and I did indeed receive a TH Plus, not a wall wart (See "What do you think? Did I get scammed?" thread)
It is even better than I was expecting. Described as "Barley used", it is more like New Open Box. Protective film still on everything, not one scratch or blemish to be found anywhere on the aircraft or controller. In a word "Pristine". It's the complete bundle as he received it sans the original Yuneec shipping box, the only thing missing is the warranty, ...so it's fingers crossed. The way I see it, at $1200 I have $600 left over to spend on any repairs.
Hopefully that won't be necessary.
A little probing into the Telemetry files has reveled it was likely purchased last May, has only been flown 6 times on 5 separate days, covering a span of 6 months. Previous owner claims he has no time to fly it, seems to be true. First power up and flight was 5/16/18, then 3 flights one each on 9/15,16,&18, final fight was short on 10/2, probably when he took the photos to sell it. Other evidence suggests he is a student at Stamford U -might explain the no time to fly thing. You can learn a lot from a drone!
I will posting my First Flight Impressions of the Plus on that thread later today. I'm off to fly down some batteries!
Here is a screen shot showing the FW version, it's meaningless to me at the moment, I'll be looking into what this all means this evening. With my past experience, I look at FW updates with fear and trepidation! I might need someone to hold my hand (and tell me "There there now, it's going be OK") thru the process if I need to update.
