Yuneec drone lost control-Episode 2

This Yuneec drone lost control discussions come from Yuneec groups.

“I just got my Yuneec Q500 and I was so happy for it. I take out like four times before the nightmare begins.

The first time I take out in a University Campus to flight, everything was ok, but suddenly like 5 minutes after take off the Quad start to descend really fast and kind of drift. I lose control and I couldn’t take it back until the drone bounce on earth. Two minutes after that I land and move away.

Three days later I go out to a parking lot to take a flight and everything looks fine , but around minute 7 it happens again, this time I retake control on the second bounce and speed up, I was in control for about 45 seconds and “this thing” happens again. I landed change the battery and take a new flight and everything works perfectly.

Last week I was in a public park and this happens again with my second battery flight, but this time I only lose control for about 3 seconds and before it hit the ground I regain control.

I flight all the time in SMART Mode and with at least 15 satellites for the drone and 9 satellites for the base.”

“Second flight of my Yuneec Q500 wound up with a crash…why? Yuneec Q500 was about 100 yards from me and maybe 30 feet high when everything came tumbling to the earth. Fortunately, not much damage but all I could find was three of the 4 props (all broken). Apparently the fourth prop came off causing the crash. I never found it. I thought these props were self tightening. I assume I did not have the runaway prop tight enough when taking off.”

“Yesterday I lost my Yuneec Q500 4k drone, it took off normally but after a couple of minutes at 150 ft the drone lost GPS signal and stopped responding to the ST10, I hit the HOME switch but nothing happened I just lost visual contact and after a few minutes all camera signal.”

“I lost mine a month or so ago. I saw it go down so I had a general idea of where I needed to start looking. But even then it took a good bit of two days and part of a night to find. I did not have an SD card in the ST10, a big no-no I have learned. I have one now plus I most all the time I attach a Trackimo to my Q500. The remote, and “home” arrow didn’t help me. Not much anyway, but I had only been flying 3 or 4 days so it’s pretty certain I didn’t know what I was doing trying to follow the arrow to where it went down.”
