Comparing apples and oranges is a difficult thing to do. They are not in the same class. My H works perfectly and has from day one, causing me to like it very much.
Unfortunately we are dealing with a hobby level aircraft that was awarded the term "consumer drone" as a means to promote greater sales volume. In truth every MR priced less than $10k is hobby level because none of the components used to assemble them are in any way certified, have zero published documentation referencing min/max performance levels, are made by the lowest bidder, and assembled by companies with no AS9100 policies. Many of the components used may be faulty and only discovered after they have been in an operational state for an unknown period of time. This is applicable to all hobby/"consumer" drone manufacturers. We are not buying certified aircraft and should not be under some illusion that we are. For the most part our highly sophisticated, self flying camera drones cost half or less than a 35% RC airplane yet we think our drones should be as well manufactured and precise as an A320 or 757.
When people have an issue that does not resolve after reading and following published instructions their first course of action should be to contact the customer service department of the company the made the product. For some reason they run to forums such as this one thinking their questions will be answered and resolved by system experts. Posting in places like this is good for general conversational purposes but the fact is, if you have followed directions to the letter the only fix you will obtain is with customer service.
At least in the U.S., Yuneec C.S. has been very good at dealing with customer issues and correcting, repairing, replacing aircraft that demonstrate deficiencies. They've even taken care of customers where fault lay with the customer. As an example I damaged the ribbon flex on a CGO-3 camera during reassembly, something I should not have disassembled to begin with and something you cannot repair yourself. A call to Yuneec about possible repair had an RMA in my in box within 10 minutes of placing the call. It was my fault, they were made aware it was my fault, yet they said "send it".
It makes a lot more sense to me to let the real experts deal with a problem than to go online and ***** about the same thing over and over and over. Doesn't matter who makes it, resolution will be found with their customer service department, if they have a responsive CS unit. Yuneec does.
