Q500 Multiple issues

[Darren88]

No. It's on the controller.

1.) Place the drone on a flat surface that won't move or shake.
2.) Turn on drone and controller.
3.) Press the Settings Icon near the lower right of the screen. (It looks sort of like a gear.)
4.) Press "OK" to the warning that pops up.
5.) Press "Calibration"
6.) Press "Accelerometer"
7.) Wait for the calibration to run its course. It should only take about 10 or 12 seconds or so. You will hear lots of happy sounding beeps and the beeps for starting back up. Wait for the drone to come back to its normal acquiring/ready state.
8.) Press the return key to return to the normal flight screen.

Then restart both drone and controller to see if it helped anything.

Okay I will do that tomorrow. After I charge the battery back up. The swelling went down. I think it might have just been the plastic sticker that swelled up

Might of all happened because I flew it out in 100degree weather maybe. But other than that it seemed to fly pretty good. Took it up to a 1000ft then back down to 200 ft and flew it around. All functions are good. Don't know about the home or smart functions yet but in angle mode it flew great

Sound like an accident waiting to happen. I suggest you familiarize yourself with all the FAA drone rules. Max flight height is 400 feet. Disobeying these rules can get you in a lot of hot water and gives other pilots a bad rap! Peace KC.

I know all that. I was doing a test flight making sure all was okay. Thanks for letting me but I know. It's not my first drone just my first typhoon drone.

 

[Darren88]

I had it at 100ft and took it to 200ft.

 

[Darren88]

Too many trees too go to 400 feet. And alot of metal

 

[Darren88]

It was a accident anyways it went down today at 200ft I don't know what happened heard a whoosh sound then everything went dead. It's a big bummer because I went out my way to get back up and running then boom this happens

...I don't know what happened heard a whoosh sound then everything went dead...

If you had an SD card in the slot under the battery in the battery compartment, you can upload the flight logs to the Forum for review.

 

[Darren88]

I didn't have one at the time only one in the drone, I think it is beyond repair.

Yeah I feel that guy really really ripped me off. So please anyone buying from eBay be careful on what you are buying

Without flight logs it is hard to say something. Maybe the on the ST10 recorded video data shows a bit more at the end of the flight. Usually the last buffer is lost in the CGO3 when powered off (due the crash in this case). This effect causes that the on SD card recorded video stops before bad things happen.

My guess is a power loss (voltage drop) during strong wind. The landing gear is often visible in the video. The gimbal covers this but the drone is hard fighting.

I don't know I heard a whoosh sound before everything happened
