Trying to compress a lot of info in one post. On a flight several months ago my Typhoon H lost GPS, said to land immediately, then took off full speed to the left never to be seen again. After sending the flight log to Yuneec they were kind enough to replace it.
The replacement was unable to acquire GPS on the first flight. I was unable to calibrate compass, and when lifting off it slowly drifted to the right.
Sent it in with the controller and got it back over 2 months later.
Today was my 3 or 4th flight since. Lifted off, drifted slowly to the right, (towards some small trees) so I lifted it up a little higher to avoid collision and none of the pitch controls on the right worked. Pulling straight back it would not move. Left or right would move very slowly. So I immediately tried to land but couldn't get it away from over the top of trees. Very patiently I maneuvered it slowly over a clear spot and dropped it down. When it landed it fell over sideways and broke 2 propellers. Something has been pulling it to the right??
So, after installing 2 new propellers and firing up, I get land immediately and recalibrate compass. (I never took off). So every time I hit calibrate compass, it says no GPS, acquiring. I turn it off and back on and it says ready. Until I try to calibrate and it immediately switches to acquiring. I relocated a mile or 2 away and tried again. No GPS. This is the exact same reason I sent it in and waited 2 months for supposed repairs.
