Hello. Just bought my new Q500 and i cannot get it to start. When i start the drone, the light gets green and after two to three seconds it turns red and i am getting a beeping sound. Anyone any ideas what it could possibly be? I am a newbie.
Problem with q500 startup
- Thread starter IguanaMike
- Start date
Check the switch on the controller...upper right...if in Smart mode, move away from the Q, 8 meters...if in Home mode, put the switch in Angle until you launch and get 8 meters from the Q...then you can put the switch in Smart mode... let us know how you make out

LOL
You know better then to ask a male if he read the manual don't you
Yes that would be a place to start, read the manual and cheat sheet what the errors mean.
yes i know better but for a new-be and not knowing that the manual is on the SD card supplied it's a new world , if i knew what version he has i would down load a PDF of the manual and send it to him .LOL

fly safe
try uninstalling the Q from the st10 and reinstall it , if that don't work rename the Q and bind it to the st10 .
You're not starting it with the switch in Home mode are you? That one's got me quite a few times.
I have the exact same issues described by OP .
Flew the quad for about a month on every weekend then suddenly it lost gps at about 100m of altitude thankfully it was a calm night and i was able to land it safely.
Today i tried flying it in an open field but it didn't boot nor did it make the "start up" sound , status led kept flashing red and gps refused to turn on from the st10+ tried to rebind it and to calibrate the compass which (after 8 tries) worked for about 40sec after take off gps lost again and entered manual mode.
I email yuneec about this issue but have yet to hear anything from them.

will it fly with out GPS , if it fly's it just may be the GPS in the Q .
do you know any one with a Q and ST -10 and is wiling to help you find out what unit is not working ( Q or the ST -10 ) this has helped find the bad TX or RX .
Yes the quad was flown with another st10 and same problem persisted . Upon closer inspection it sounds like something is loose inside the quad maybe the compass module got loose as its highly unlikely that the GPS module (which is stuck with a good amount of RF blocking tape) got loose , i will get the corresponding allan keys tomorrow and try to have a look inside.
