Thanks. It's been a number of days, so starting to forget the details. I was originally flying on GPS, and everything happened so fast. So my current understanding of the event is that I lost gps, the drone switched to manual (with alt hold), and took off sideways, maybe by the wind (or by...

Yeah, I'm learning more and more each day: ). I have now accessed both the controller and the drone, and retrieved log and bin files. But there was no tlog file for that accident flight.

Small yard, house in front, trees in the back, and a large 5th wheel on the side, I should have known better. Didn't realize the drone was that sensitive. The front yard is wide open, and i seem to have good satellite reception there.

I haven't tried that yet. I will give it a try later today.

I have been flying in the front yard, which is much more open. 9-12 sats, no drops so far. So I think the back yard was too restrictive for satellites.

I accessed the controller with WinSCP and retrieved all the logs for that day. There are .log and .bin files for that particular session, but no .tlog

I don't know why, but when I download this specific log, it doesn't create any telemetry file (.tlog). Other logs I download do seem to create the tlog file

Thanks! I will try find the telemetry later when I get home.

I received my Best Buy Refurbished Solo yesterday. It has the Rev. B GPS board. I added the cardboard mod. It seems to pick up satellites ok, but seems to intermittently loose them. This morning I tried to fly it in the back yard. I brought it up maybe 10 feet had it loiter, and moved it around...

Hello all, I am new to drones. I bought myself a Syma X8W for Christmas a few months ago. I added attitude hold to it, mounted my GoPro hero 3 to it, and did a lot of practice flying, including taking videos with the GoPro. It didn't take long to figure out that I need something better...

The reason I was wondering is, there is a seller on ebay, speedstuffsales, who sells mfg refurbished Solos. The seller says that it includes full 3DR warranty and support. So I was wondering if that is a better warranty, or the same warranty as BB refurb Solos.

I got one a week ago for the $209 price, but I returned it due to one motor had signs of premature fail. I then ordered another BB refurbished for the lower $199 price. So is the warranty for the BB refurb the same as if I would have bought a mfg refurb direct from 3DR?
