    New Long Range antenna for SOLO

    The app I use goes with these guidelines: 0, 1, 2 and 3 are shown in green and okay. 4 is yellow and maybe still okay. 5 and above are red, and not advisable to use a GPS device as GPS satellites might be affected.

    New Long Range antenna for SOLO

    I used some velcro, not the traditional type that makes the tearing sound, but the type with the plastic hook ends. I put a piece on the back of the controller that the phone/tablet holder screws to. On the DBS antenna I put the velcro where the 2 small screws stick out to connect to the...

    Solo Flight - Quarry

    Since I couldn't get close enough to the edge of the quarry my connection would act up as I went down into the quarry, so I mostly had to stay near the top. I'm hoping to get better video, as long as the hawks stay away. The road reminds of something that would be in The Walking Dead.

    Solo Flight - Quarry

    Some video of two quarries in IL. At one point I had 2 hawks circling the Solo. You can see them fly by in the video. After that I had to stop flying in that area or else they might have tried to attack it like I've seen in other videos

    Rugby video (P3)

    Nice video. The shots straight down on the action were good. Can't wait to do shots on the Solo like this when the gimbal comes out.
