SOLD

I'm dropping this to "make me an offer". I have pulled out the brand new Solo and updated it and made sure it gets GPS and flys to ensure that it is not DOA from the factory like so many are. So make me an offer. Come one come all.

Perhaps $1,200 was too steep? I'd go down to $1,000.

Hi Steve, I appreciate the interest. I'd be willing to split up the two drones, but not the batteries.

Appreciate the info. I may go that route if I don't find any takers.

Before a friend of mine knew the law, he took his straight up to 1,200' before losing connection.

Bare with me, there's a lot here. If you just want an inventory list, here it is: 1 Brand new 3DR Solo in the box, I will open, update, and test to make sure it's fully functional. 1 3DR Solo with the WiFi upgrades in the drone and the controller as well as the paddle antennae on the...

I try to land with between 20%-30% battery left. I don't know what the power draw from the gimbal is vs. increased power draw for the additional weight. I just know that I was pretty shocked at the difference in flight times.

I don't know what happened to this thread, but y'all have way too much time on your hands. In all seriousness though, I really appreciate everyone's insight and replies. This is the first reply that resonates with my experience. In front of my house, directly in my flight path, is one of...

I'll see your 99% and raise you 1%. Just had a buddy do this the MAS props.

Which is why I specifically stated that I can't say if the correlation is causation. You can't ignore the correlation though, which is why I'm posting about it share the correlation. If enough of us have the same correlation, it because a candidate for a theory. So on and so forth. 9...

I recently did the WiFi upgrade and after about a half dozen flights with it, successfully, I experienced my first every Solo crash yesterday. Actually, two of them, one right after the other. The first crash took a few blades with it. The second crash took with it 4 blades, my gimbal, and now I...

I've noticed that the sweet spot for me is about 100' from takeoff elevation. My distance drops pretty dramatically above 200' and especially in the 300'-400' range. I'm not sure if it's atmospheric conditions or what, but it seems like the lower the better. When you're referring to a helical...

Cheers for that!

I live in a densely populated suburban area. I have houses in a 2000' to 6000' radius (depending on direction) all around me, except for about a 15 degree pie slice that goes down the hill and is undeveloped. That runs up against orchards and vineyards. So while I'm perfectly situated to fly a...
