Made a previous post about a possibly lost typhoon-H plus. Well it’s apparently coming today. I’m a little weary in regards to buying a drone off eBay because there’s a point where, when checking for proper operations, if something is not right, a manufacturer would allow a return no questions asked however, an eBay seller would probably pushback more and say something to the effect of “well it got to you in one piece, you used it and broke it yourself, I’m not accepting a return”. Drones are tricky like that I suppose, just by the nature of the exchange, at what point is it a legit issue and what point is something due to operator error that actually broke it?
So, with all that said, once I get it out of the box and get it in the air (assuming it’s intact), what should I immediately be checking for on its first flight, or what has been a habitual problem with the plus, something that I may not even use, or know about until a month later? If I test that function on the first day, and it doesn’t operate properly, the chances are better that I can return without pushback. Conversely, if there’s a function I don’t use until a month from now, and it doesn’t operate properly, the seller will comeback and say “we’ll you had the drone for a month and now you want to return it because you just found out about an issue”...he’s going to tell me to go ****(mod edited) up a rope.
I know there’s a pre-flight checklist but that doesn’t answer quite what I’m asking.
Any feedback and out of the box features I should immediately check on first flight for operation? Obviously check to ensure proper stick response, which firmware it’s running, up, down, left/right...etc...I’ve read some previous issues with CCC so that’ll be one of them m, but what else is there that I may not be aware of and which has sometimes been wonky and hit or miss?
Thanks for any feedback, just want to ensure I test the key functions and not find out about them a month from now when it’ll be too late. Been flying H’s for a long while but not the plus.
