I’m going to guess that’s a matter of logistics. As they can’t ship them as air freight they have to go by boat, and to make the boat they need container quantities in various sizes to book the space. The U.S. prolly consumes more of Tattu’s product line than the U.K. so their container volume comes our direction instead of yours. In turn, Amazon won’t ship them overseas because of HazMat costs.

Strange the policy doesn't translate with Yuneec. Why still supply Europe with batteries and leave their biggest market out?

Maybe they're being pressured by their government, tariff war?

But did the supply dry up before Trump?

Nope.

That’s a very hard question to guess an answer for as much of what they’ve been doing doesn’t make much sense.

Not sure on the new look/design statement.....mine are the exact same as the one i purchased in March of this year?

Will be flying both new ones today .... hitting the Beach....post up length of flight report this evening !!!! Should be around 18 minutes?

I just have to ask, how do you measure flight time, does the aircraft do more than hover, and what is battery voltage when it lands? In three years and lots of batteries I’ve never obtained 18 minutes of “flight” time from a Yuneec or UltraX H battery.

I bought some of these a couple years ago for $55 shipped each. Wishing I bought a few more for that price now.

17 Minutes 53 seconds.
Flying around with camera on, a bit of wind and landing at 14.5v.
This is an OEM I purchased from a Hobie store 6 months ago, battery dated 2016
I'm still getting 17 minutes of flight. I could get 18+ with out camera on.
