I'm sure Simon didn't get the only good H out there. If yours is everything we have been looking for please post your story here. We need to read some positive posts. How great is your camera, how far did you fly, is it as fast as a Phantom?
That's what I was thinking. Simon and Ming may have "vip" built units. I wonder whose Tim was testing?Hope the big wigs aren't getting hand assembled and tested by Yuneec's VP of Marketing, LOL Just hoping !
I hope so ! they need to give positive reinforcement therapy to us !we are NOT seeing the success stories because they are out flying.....
That is what I was also thinking. If your H is amazing and you have plenty of batteries your not here on the forum with us wanna bees.we are NOT seeing the success stories because they are out flying.....
I have the word of the managing director of Yuneec UK that the unit I have is exactly as they are all coming, with the exception that the Wizard firmware is updated on those in the first main shipping batches compared to mine. I haven't even got round to playing with that yet as it's been raining again...That's what I was thinking. Simon and Ming may have "vip" built units. I wonder whose Tim was testing?

There seem to be quite a few issues with the 1st batch of arrivals. I will hopefully get to do my independent testing this weekendI have the word of the managing director of Yuneec UK that the unit I have is exactly as they are all coming, with the exception that the Wizard firmware is updated on those in the first main shipping batches compared to mine.

We know, just playing around, trying to fiquire out all these new issues popping up ! I appreciate all the wisdom you has instilled upon us all !I have the word of the managing director of Yuneec UK that the unit I have is exactly as they are all coming, with the exception that the Wizard firmware is updated on those in the first main shipping batches compared to mine.

Finding any decent camera platform as fast as a P4 in sport mode may take a while!is it as fast as a Phantom?
Great info, and I thought it should operate on landing similar to the P's, save for the CSC shutoff(both sticks down n In) Instead the red button kill !I've just looked at the "issues" thread. As someone who's owned every Phantom since the Vision up to the 3Pro I haven't seen anything in there that we didn't see after the launch of all of those. Sometimes hardware, sometimes firmware.
I saw people talk about the fan in the ST16 issue, so opened mine up out of curiosity. Take off the rubber grips and then just go to town with a 2mm hex driver. Looks like the two cooling fans are miniature computer-type ones where the blades are held in by magnets. One fan points outwards, the other is flipped over and points inwards. This latter is the culprit I suspect - in transit I reckon a hard enough jolt would make the blades pop off as there's nothing to stop that happening. In normal use I suspect you'd have to drop it or treat it fairly rough to make it happen again. Should be a simple fix for the factory, just put a plastic strip across the fan unit to keep the blades attached under a shock. Looks very nice inside the ST16, though - good build quality, quality solder joints, very neat and tidy.
I've had no flight issues, but as I'd class myself as an experienced pilot (but certainly no hotshot) I've been running in Angle mode as that's how I'm used to flying. If you come from Phantoms and are used to holding the throttle closed for a couple of seconds after touchdown then that's exactly what you do with the H. Bring it down, then as soon as the legs touch chop and hold the throttle closed. After a couple of second the motors go into "idle" and you won't get any bouncing or take-off attempts. Then you can safely hands off and reach for the kill switch.
So far, so positive from my point of view. Hard to objectively see how it would be for beginners, though - Smart mode just messes with my mind as I'm used to flying "properly" so I've ignored it. The manual does say that it's best to get into angle as soon as possible and just learn to fly it the right way...
It is well known that the H can top 44 mph from previous posts, hope to find out Friday, but I am sure for a while I will letting off the throttle till I feel my new bird out !Finding any decent camera platform as fast as a P4 may take a while!
That said, there's a video doing the rounds (recently re uploaded for audio-legal reasons) that has the H easily following a car doing 40mph, which is a good bit higher speed than it's being advertised as capable of.
That's fast enough for me!It is well known that the H can top 44 mph from previous posts, hope to find out Friday, but I am sure for a while I will letting off the throttle till I feel my new bird out !

Mind you it looks like DJI pushed it a bit hard, the battery lasts around 12 minutes and reportedly overheats easily, so speed ain't everything, and with the H's aerodynamic profile being a bit larger by the look of it, it will struggle without some extreme pitching.

Yeah! I will, but after a few batteries worth to make sure no bugs came with it ! LOL!That's fast enough for me!
Get it out and thrash it, you know you want to!
