I won't get anything yuneec until they update and reduce their nfz's to standard levels. Their current firmware is almost twice the size of STANDARD DJI nfz's

Kevin from skylabs is great too, he's been in with them for 18 months, testing, making / talking recommendations etc. Installed to him the other night, great dude indeed. He told me info about flight controller they used vs. Known issues in DJI code etc. Everything makes total sense now. Let us know how she flies

What was battery status when you started back?

Very informative thread but it scares me to try my first flight thinking about DJI Care, has anyone used it for incidents similar to the one's in this thread?

 

[flpholt]

had 60 percent battery left but wind had its own thoughts

Mine ran out of power because of wind on RTH.
HealthyDrones.com - Innovative flight data analysis that matters
It ran out of power 75' below take off Altitude, It dropped out of sight fell 225', Cost $286.00 for repair.
(Learn the ATTI mode), go up to your flying elevation, click to ATTI and watch how fast it drifts, then go back to GPS for your normal noob flying. Winds can be very strong above and my wife wasn't watching the battery on app, it was going down really fast while we were flying.
