I recently received a Typhoon H Pro and I haven't updated it yet. I would like to fly it for a bit before doing that in case something goes wrong with the update or wait and see if Yuneec will release a new one soon that fixes some of the problems I've read in here although I know most haven't had any issues if done properly.
Is there a way to save the old firmware before updating?
Step by step would be appreciated if there is a way, thanks. Forgive me if this topic has been answered elsewhere, I searched and couldn't find anything. Just point me to it and I'll be a happy flyer.
UPDATE! - So I decided to update the firmware. DISASTER! I had the infamous flyaway. I started the drone and went up about 10 feet, it started to drift a little then a lot, I had little control although I was able to raise or lower it slowly. I let it go about 100ft and had to get it close to the ground because of upcoming obstacles, I tried 'return to home' with no response. I ended up getting it about 3 ft above the ground and doing a stall by turning off the rotors with the ground station. My heart sank because it did a tumble and I just knew something was broken, I need to replace a landing leg, a rotor and the gimbal rubbers separated and I lost 3 of them (those little suckers are hard to find in grass) but that is it and I can order new parts. One thing I noticed is I didn't have the ground station antenna in the up position, they were still folded beside the mushroom antenna, would that have caused a problem? So many other questions, I need to figure this out, I do like the Typhoon and I want to give it more time, I think the ST16 has a lot of potential.
UPDATE 2! - Called Yuneec and told CS what happened, they said to send it in and that it's covered under warranty. They also said that there might be something wrong with the compass and didn't think it was a firmware update issue.
