Thanks acro [emoji1417] just curious, have you flown acro at all on the Solo? I've modded a micro quad to fly acro and it's a blast! Was thinking of taking the plunge one day and flying acro on Solo.

Ahh, thanks for the clarification. Anyone have any problems taking off manually in wind? I live in the PNW on an island, so needless to say I have some pretty strong gusts from time to time. I should be fine as long as I takeoff swiftly and try not to linger close to ground level correct?

I was under the impression that taking off in manual mode leaves your copter with unreliable RTH coordinates?

With my gps mod. I've only flown 2 times with my new MA props. After a quick test flight using stock props everything seemed ok. Which leaves me to believe in that 10% chance I installed the MA props wrong :(

Before takeoff I very gently apply a bit of thrust on the left stick. Just a smidge. To test my motors a bit before they go full throttle to takeoff.

Have about 5-6 hrs of flight time on my Solo (mro gps mod with v2 shield) using my newly acquired master airscrew props. I do know that there is possibility for pilot error on installing the props in the wrong orientation, but I'm about 90% sure I put them in the correct way...hopefully that 10%...

Hey guys, long time lurker here. My Solo flipped right after takeoff! After going through my preflight checklist everything was green lit and ready to go until right after takeoff my Solo decided to flip over nose first right onto the ground. Didn't even lift off the ground. After turning off...

Looks like we bought all the $50 batteries, boys. Thanks for the heads up OP! Time to wait patiently for another price drop.

Living in the PNW as well, I can say that I feel your pain. Two weeks before my trip to Hawaii it rained for 2 weeks straight. Had absolutely no chance to practice lining up shots. Coming from someone who doesn't have much money to spare, I can safely say that even a little rain would be too...

Battery is OEM, sold by a different storefront though. Bought one which I thought would be the last, but after refreshing the Amazon page it showed they had 2 more left, albeit at a higher price.

Update: Just checked and now Amazon has 2 in stock for a slightly lower price at $68.99.. Interesting.

Sorry folks, I may have just bought the last one. Hopped on Amazon after my skiing trip with the notion of buying an extra battery I've been thinking about, and saw that they were on sale for $35!! The kicker was there was only one left :( I would've bought 6 more if I checked this morning...

Damn, that seran wrap doesn't get clogged in the port?

I believe you have to downgrade your GoPro to v2.0. It will allow gimbal and video functionality, but no in-app control to the GoPro. Quick search in the forums landed me with a user who got a link from 3DR to downgrade your GoPro from v3.0.2 to 2.0 If you want a link from GoPro I'm sure you...

First post! Just joined the 3DR family, hoping for a long and prosperous journey. Anywho, after lurking a bit about the gps issues with the Solo, I've found that a replacement gps chip by a brand with old staff from 3DR is almost necessary. I believe it's $80. Small price to pay for peace of...
