Typhoon H manual - cleaned Up and updated (70pgs)

Excellent effort, I will find these very useful and I commend you.

 

If you want you can add them to the file section, just go to Downloads at the top of the page and once there click on Add Resource.

 

Great job. Just a question How do I know when the sattelites are locked?

 

Thanks, very interesting

 

Thank you so much for this hard work!

 

Thank you very very much for the updated manual. I just purchased a H after my Q500 and Q500 4K and I am very impressed of the H. Now I am playing with the panorama and putting the 360 pictures up at Facebook.

 

That is a GREAT manual and it took a lot of work to get that done. Thank you!

 

Hey, Charles:

Thanks for going to all this trouble. I just downloaded your work and will print it sometime soon to read.

When I bought my first Yuneec Q500 4K in 2015 (I now own 4 and last week bought a new Typhoon H, which I haven't had the time to unbox yet) I dreaded reading the manual for the H.

Your comment in regard to "tech junk" is right-on. The manual for the Q500 is terrible. (My degree is in Mass Communication BTW and I taught at a university here in Texas) and as I read through my first Yuneec manual, I gave it a D-.

My first drone was a DJI Phantom 3. I have to admit I gave DJI a big fat F for customer support after the sale, but I continue to give Yuneec an A for customer support after the sale. But Yuneec needs all the help they can get with their clarity, communication and content in regard to their manuals and you are doing the rest of us a very big favor for adding some sense to their very murky messy that they seem to have a track record for.

When I win the Texas Lottery, I'm buying you a Tesla - I'm buying one for Eric Matyas too .(Eric are you listening?)

 

Great work

 

Thanks for the amazing work. You have addressed many mysteries I’ve had with the Typhoon H.

 

This has obviously taken a lot of work to acheive, not to mention the experience required to expand upon the original.
Thank you, there are many helpful bits of info.

 

I appreciate your work to do this for all H-owners

 

Thank you for doing this. I have used your manual a lot.

 

I have downloaded the latest version Vcho 3/1. Great work for all YTH users. I like a lot that people sharing their knowledgre and create documention and update it. Iknow very well that this is a lot of work.

One point, that came in my mind:
* On page 43 it says „If the Typhoon H is not bound correctly – No telemetry data will be displayed“. This is not true since FW update introduced „Dual Band Control Redundancy”. The only way to see the correct binding during flight is the small antenna icon 2.4 in the upper right info bar of the screen (and of course in the binding menu).
It’ possible to fly without correct binding but this is dangerous and leads to unexpected and strange behavior of the copter and possibly to a crash.

Edit: Updated Version of FlightLog analysis added.
FlightLog_analysis.pdf

 

If the ST16 is bound to camera (5GHz WLAN connection established), you can start and fly the Typhoon H via this WLAN connection without having 2.4GHz RC connection (no binding between ST16 and RC transceiver in copter). You will not see a difference during flight so far. Also video connection is still there. Control commands needs little bandwidth compared to video downlink. Also you will get telemetry back over WLAN.

But WLAN range is lower compared to 2.4GHz RC and due to WLAN latency, control commands are delayed. This may be dangerous especially when you try to land or other difficult operations.
I have seen some crashes caused by this during FlightLog analysis. In most of this cases the Typhoon H was bound to the Wizard before and the operator forgot to bind to ST16 again. He will not discover that except the very small 2.4-icon on the screen.

To identify Telemetry over WLAN connection, check column "fsk-rssi" in telemetry file. If fsk-rssi value = zero then WLAN was used. If the value is always zero, then the copter was not bound to ST16 at all, only camera.
