I could have a perfect case if the landing gear could be raised and lowered manually. Anyone?
Thanks.

Put landing gear up?

Power on the ST16S, power on the H520 with camera attached. Connect H520 to DataPilot. Take off props. Press red button to arm motors, lift airframe off the ground from the rear, while applying throttle. Flip gear switch, wait for gear to retract, remove battery or hold power button. To redeploy, hold H520 upside down. Power on, gear will automatically deploy. You might need to power on with the H520 upright, then flip the H520 upside down. If you need video showing this works refer to the search and rescue portion of the Yuneec three-minute-thirty-four-second product video where the 520 is on the outside of a backpack.
Hello all!
Very cool!!!
Here's my results:
Fire up the H520 and ST16. Once all is connected, I flip it over. The lights go yellow. I switched the gear lever on the ST16 a couple times and up it goes! Shutdown H520, remove camera, and you have your flattened H.
Gear goes down automatically once you power up the H520. Power up only the H520, then flip it over. Lights all blink yellow, then gear lowers\deploys.
I never had to arm the system! I didn't try this without the camera attached.
Thanks Bob! You continue to be a valuable resource. It's much appreciated.

What case is it? I'm on the look out for one that I can carry it flat (like the search and rescue guy in Yuneec's promo video) and also a decent hard case that can carry everything securely and safely.
Also, does anyone have any solutions for a case for the ST16S that would allow it to be put into a backpack while protecting it?
Well since I'm the SAR guy in the video, I can tell you the bag in the video came from fry's electronics. It's a Swiza Drone Backpack. Silver state cases make a pelican case insert for the 520.
There are a couple of 3d printed stick protectors. I went with the armor suit screen protector film for the display and remove the antennas.
Any chance you could send me a link to these stick protectors? I can't find any. I'll be ordering that Swiza bag though... looks perfect.
