another idea on the tarp, buy several cheap pool intertube floats 8-12 and lash them together and put them under the tarp that way you have way to catch the drone if it goes in the river. Get you a telescopic light bulb changing pole at the hardware store and try to knock into your floating...

Rebooted, seemed to fix the issue. Now to try tower. Is there a video or thread on how to use tower?

Yep, did all the normal procedures, closed the app, powered off the drone, ect.. Just curious that there is a major difference in the apps between IOS and Droid.

So yesterday I bought Galaxy Tablet at BB specifically for the Solo. This is my first Android device and I didn't want to get a call on my iPhone 6plus and loose connectivity ect. Well I cant seem to get the video to work on the Galaxy, will get intermittent shots before it takes off, but then...

Hell eBay is so liberal nowadays with there return policy a sale as is doesn't mean anything. I sold a iPhone 5 a few months back as is, but working condition. The buyer paid via paypal and no issues or correspondence for 2 weeks. I go out of town for the weekend and get a notice of claim and...

it all depends on the Wifi congestion. One direction I get 6000 ft, the other I get only 2600 ft, compared to stock of 1900, and 2000 respectively.

I am liking the first test I did with my FPVLR yesterday, 5983 ft over a very congested wifi area. Previous distance with stock was just under 1500 over same area..

iPhone 6plus, only issue with app was gopro video on first flight, solved with methodically launching controller, solo, app last. No issue with update.

This was a post on the #DR Solo Owners Page on Facebook: IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM 3DR David Merrill Hello! I work for 3DR, and have a couple notes about doing your software update: You shouldn't need to power-cycle Solo (the vehicle) during the update. Let the update run its course. When the...

I have posted a 2 min video with some of the footage before the crash. Was able to do some Selfies and Cable prior of the crash.

I was able to update with no problems. I downloaded the App update first not connected to the solo. As a rule I always start the app last. I powered on the Controller, then the Solo, then the App. Went thru the upgrade, controller powered off and then came back up with the green check mark...

Here are some better pics of the damage. Not bad, but it could have been worse.Crash3 by Shawn Sparks posted Jun 30, 2015 at 11:56 AMCrash2 by Shawn Sparks posted Jun 30, 2015 at 11:56 AMCrash by Shawn Sparks posted Jun 30, 2015 at 11:56 AM

I agree, I am impressed with its durability. It suffered some minor cosmetic but for the most part it preformed like a "Timex".

Nope, there is good 20-25 between the silos, and I am flying very gingerly between the middle of them so I have about 10 feet either side. If you notice the video swings from side to side then goes hard right. I never ever moved the stick left or right was just going forward the whole time...
