Yuneec H520 and H920 Plus info

[Rayray]

On their USA web site, Yuneec is now showing the H520 and the H920 Plus. Specs and various promo info but no prices or availability info. One interesting thing is that the H920 Plus uses the ST16 Controller instead of the ST24.

Here is a link giving more info about the new H920 Plus. Claims that the cameras used on the TH and the new TH 520 will fit now the 920 Plus.

Hope this means we get some new features on the ST16 that work on the Typhoon H.

This is the part I'm interested in. Camera compatibility.
Also a reduced price range for the 920. The 480, 520, and 920+ are gonna be somewhat competitive with each other. A bit strange...

This is a quote from the link above.

Not really - As you go up the range you get bigger batteries, longer flight times and higher top speed. I would assume the price will reflect that. They've also said that the H520 (and I assume the 920+) will only be available through approved dealers with a replacement guarantee and guaranteed quick swap over in the event of problems. Commercial users will probably want the peace of mind and support. The H480 is strictly 'prosumer', so you can buy on Amazon but get lower levels of assistance.

Tuna,
It's great to see that someone actually read the press release. well done!

The H520 will be only available through dealers that have commercial backgrounds. The commercial product, like all enterprise-grade products, costs more and therefore users expect more.
The flight stack of the H520 is entirely different than any other previous product.

But will the documentation package be up to the level necessary for commercial operators? Thus far, that has been quite a stumbling point with both the H and the 920.
