landing

I only have one 5 minute fight with my 3rd solo so far, but the first time I landed it freaked me out. I was hovering about 20' up and 10' from the RTH location and pressed the button. It started shooting up to the RTH height (100') but only went up about 10 feet before it also hit the RTH...

First post on here! When I received my brand new Solo, I was excited. With no experience, I spent hours on the simulator until I felt comfortable. I read through this forum's FAQ and pre-flight check (well done btw) then began my first flight. It was super easy, albeit nervous. I did a couple of...

This is somewhat common question and occurrence here. So I thought I would make a thread for people to reference on the topic. This describes how to recognize, avoid, and respond to botched landings. If anyone here flies full size aircraft, you'll recognize this is really no different than...

Hey guys! Have had my Solo for about 3 days now, taken it for a hand full of flights and every time I land, whether with the take me home option or a manual land where I hold fly, right when it lands the motors rev and it flips on its side. The only way around it is by using the emergency kill...

I have searched around in the discussion threads, and I haven't been able to find a definitive answer as to how to land and stop the motors (quickly and easily) when flying in manual mode. Sometimes when telling the Solo to Return to Home when it has GPS lock, it will lose GPS lock and switch...

Hey there, this is my first time on this thread, and I rarely ever use forums, but I have a question about solo that their website doesnt seem to answer, and maybe you good people could! Okay, 3dr says that if solo goes out of range, it uses the gps to return home. And, it also says that if the...

I am constantly getting flips on every landing the past several days and its pissing me off. I have all the latest app and firmware updates I have new props I have done two Compass Calibrations I have done two Level Calibrations I was not in windy conditions It happened on grass, on dirt, on...

I recently bough 3 - 3DR SOLO Drones. One of the drones will not turn off after landing the motors rev up before flipping the drone over onto its back. The only way to avoid it is by using the emergency stop method. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a fix for it? The drone is not...

Hello How is everybody? Any ideas where to get reliable retractable landing gear? Thanks EN
