That won't augur well for present H520 owners considering what Yuneec had them pay for acquiring a 'Commercial grade' H520.however what about having hplus then adding h520 app on that.

Just a thought
If the internal craft hardware of the H+ and H520 are similar, and H520 users are able to install the H+ app onto the ST16S of their H520, would the H520 users have full access to all features of the H+?
Yuneec messed up by pricing the H520/E90 combo so high. Pricing the H520/E90 combo with DataPilot slightly above that of the H+ would have been been great for professionals. That would have encouraged them to have both, H520 and H+.
Well saidSorry guys, but IMO the 520’s value when released had it a $2k drone, if it had the E-90 included in that price. Observing all the flailing taking place with people missing functionality that should have been there and the missing “first of the year” firmware update doesn’t do anyone any good but it goes far in reaffirming my decision not to buy one. Yuneec’s minimal involvement in promoting this machine spoke volumes. What’s really sad is anyone could buy a cheap almost ready to fly hex from Foxtech, install a $250.00 - $350.00 Pixhawk FC and a ball turret camera and do far more with it than a 520, for lower cost. Those that already know that and also have a 520 have got to be feeling some pain.
As for competition, I hate to say it but DJI doesn’t have any. Certainly not from Yuneec as they are too busy chasing their established customers away through pitifully poor management decisions. Sure, they got hit hard financially but turning out half finished product and cutting critical corners is not got to rebuild their company. It will only marginalize them further. For me the H Plus looks like a far more attractive platform even if it was to cost more than what it’s being advertised at. Then again, we’ll have to wait to see what it really does post release.
OTOH, if they fail to address the 920 battery and voltage warning issues, and fail to deliver on upgrading the 520, my 920 purchase will be the last Yuneec product I’ll ever buy. For now that party’s over.

The video is this one, gentlemen, which is not saying anything bad, it only expresses how we feel and precisely expresses at least what I think and so I have said. It is said in humorous terms and therefore there is nothing wrong with it. It was published by a fellow forum member. Bravo Richard, I'm still laughing
What I liked best:"He'll never do it, you know how much he hates DJI"
A greeting for DJI and all his followers, it's nothing personal
P.D.: It is in Yuneec's hands that it remains an anecdote, which should not be repeated more. I'm still hoping it will be
The sad thing is, I spent almost two years promoting and defending the Typhoon H in the most hostile forum environment there is, the RC Groups multirotor forum. A forum owned and heavily populated with eloquent DJI reps and users. The video well represents how I now feel, while also making the statement of not going with DJI. There are alternatives. More expensive but alternatives just the same.
