Hi guys, like many people I gave up on my solo since 3DR stopped maintaining it. I finally took the courage and time to install open solo 4. Installation went smoothly (or so I think), I did it with sidepilot as I'm on iOS. I did have to use my son's android tablet and buy solex on it because...

Bumping this thread up as I prepare for traveling to Europe from SFO. What's the deal with the remote? can we check it in or does the battery also need to be carried on? Geeum

Hey guys did anyone succeed in buying an fpvlr antena? I keep getting the "Invalid payment method" error when checking out. Supposedly they take orders again but the banner is still there (the one saying "We will not be able to take new orders from June 23rd to July 20th") so maybe they're...

Fyi 3DR discontinued their in-house hood ;)

Do you guys know if 3DR discontinued them? They've been sold out for a while ..

Hey guys, I notice the sun hoods are out of stock on 3dr's web store. I have a couple of questions: - are those actually useful? - if they are, is there any 3rd party alternative? Or DIY? I'm using my iPhone 6. Going to a sunny place soon, so was wondering if one would/could help Thanks

Awesome, thanks! Geeum

Thanks! Did you have another bag for personal belongings? I'm always confused with how many pieces of luggage you can carry on ...

OK, so, what I'll do is: - Solo in backpack. Will check the propellers in (someone reported here that they could 'look' like blades) - Personal belongings in small bag I guess I'm all set. Thanks! Geeum

Hi guys, I'm going to travel from SFO to Maui and I would like to take my Solo with me. I've read many threads here, like this one, but still have some questions... I have a solo backpack with 5 batteries and I'm flying Hawaiian Airlines. - People seem to say taking the backpack as carry on is...

OK, thanks for the tip

The batteries 'get empty' while they're not being used, right? I fully charged my 3 batteries, and stored them in my backpack. I wasn't able to fly for 2 weeks and now they're not fully charged anymore. I expect this is normal but please confirm. Guillaume

PdxSteve, I'm 100% with you. This lady was actually filming me for reporting me to the police, I guess she wanted some proof (of what?). It took a while for me to educate this person. Somehow she said she saw my camera pointing to her place specifically and she thought I was intruding her...

Agreed. If I can avoid to bother people, I will. I just want to be a bit more educated in the cases where people are being d*$%s: I'm not going to drive 50 miles out just because some guy thinks that I'm invading his privacy while I'm flying my solo in a park, 200 ft high and 1000 ft out from...

That's not really helpful. Unless going to a desert area there are always buildings. Say you're in a park, there's still chances there's a building in line of sight. My question is for that case. Of course, no matter what the law says, I'm not going to fly in front of someone's window. Found...
