Typhoon H Unboxing!
- Thread starter Chris McMillan
- Start date
My Phantom 3 looks like a toy compared to the Typhoon H and controller. Hope it performs as well as it looks.
Reviews are coming in. Here are some comments about the ST16 controller from The Verge:
The remote control for Yuneec's latest drone is bonkers

On one of the reviews of the H there are some close ups of the ST 16 controller. One switch on the right says OBS AVOID presumably the avoidance system. So the avoidance system can be switched off but why? Does it go faster with it off or what? Interesting. Delivery date latest I got is 4th May from Yuneec UK, including the fact that in the first shipment they are expecting a spare battery consignment as well.

I love the fact that there is a hard switch to turn it on or off. The Phantom 4 requires that you do it via software which can be problamatic... easy to forget that you have not turned it back on.
According to the Digital review the latest the turtle/rabbit (slow/fast would be UK nomenclature) mode switch is on the back. This switch could have automatically switched off the avoidance system if it was felt unsafe? Hopefully by the end of the first week in May will know.
With such an important operation it is possibly best done in software perhaps? A single click switch could be prone to accidental switching. Like all safety things they are made purposefully difficult/awkward to obviate accidental switching. I must admit though it does make for experienced users a quicker mode of operation.

That Trint Sigard guy said it did he brought his test unit back to the States via airlines
Our price for the "Advanced".... ( I know it's a marketing ploy.... But just call it Standard!) is AUS$2,000. And if you're frustrated, we have wait till the end of friggin May! US & Europe first,
Well, excuse me, the over inflated price we're coughing up should put us at the top methinks. Anyway have fun, post lots of vids, oh, and let us have a look at your manual please...might as well read something while we wait.
Isn't it ironic that we here have read every word written about the H, and this guy that hasn't got a clue is holding it in his hands and answering questions.
If I ever get it, I will post to you Chris, and I agree, for $2000 vs $1300, you guys should have been their bread and butter !
That's bunk!2000$ for the standard,I originally agreed to and put down the 1799$ price at the start ,but geez it had the full Monty.
