Rubberized Switch covers

[Hunter_Michael]

Not sure what the rattling is

The SD card slot on the ST16 could be a bit out of alignment with the ST16 plastic shell. Not really a big deal at all. Early ST16,s did have some loose fan to fan shaft issues,but haven't heard of that being an issue anymore.

Note sure what my rattling inside is but it is noticeable. Hopefully they will tell me what it was once they open it up. I could have opened it myself but didn't want to take the chance to void my warranty.

@Hunter_Michael i am sure it will be the fan which is loosed from housing. ask Yuneec for a new fan...they have put on a metal strip...that the fan don't get loose

Use heat shrink.that covers about 75% of lever. I use yellow for landing gear and red for RTH. You could put black on the others if need be.

The rubber covered St16 switch version was only the first batch so that Yuneec could keep an eye on the dealer demo and review models amongst others.

You could use Plasti Dip. It comes in different colors.
Available as a dip or spray.

I bought rubber vacuum caps from Advance Autoparts for less than $10USD. I would think most auto parts stores should have something similar. Just use the small 1/8" ID ones and trim them for the correct length so the switches move freely. Also be careful putting them on so you don't break the existing switches.

I was told by my local Yuneec dealer that the dealer demo versions all had rubber switches so Yuneec could know which dealers sold their demo stock... All the current ones come with metal switches...

Whatever the reason, I just happen to like them. It's a much larger surface now with a great tactile feel, at least to me.

Anyone in Australia, I can provide a full set of 5 rubber switch covers for $4.50 plus postage.

I have both metal and rubberized both purchased in USA.

Any personal preferences between the two?

From what I can work out, it is more about aesthetics.

I had originally heard the metal was a later addition and had overall better quality however I've seen no difference. I noticed that my H-Pro has shorter switches and are plain metal. The shorter switches are a good move for packing and overall durability.

Personally I like the vacuum caps because they are rubber. Some of them or others designed as switch caps look like the Plastidip vinyl material and won't be as flexible. I also think your finger adhere better to the rubber.

I personally like the look of the non rubber switches, especially when you add my Smart mode guard. ii

I agree, the glossy appearance of the Platidip does look better but I settled for a personal balance (preference) between form and function. I am curious to know what your Smart mode guard is though? I haven't yet used any of the smart modes (due to an unrealistic fear of a flyaway) so I've stayed in angle mode. Hate the thought of bumping it by mistake.

I don't want to use smart mode and was afraid of hitting the smart switch by accident so came up with this solution. Simple and really works.

Great idea, and it looks nice too.
