    1.6 mile flight - then threatened by redneck to shoot down my Solo

    I took a friend and his son out to a local ridge-top on Saturday to show him what camera drone flying was all about. His son is interested in getting into the hobby more and isn't sure what he wants next. I've also been pushing the limits of my Solo's - seeing how far they can fly with a stable...

    M8N GPS vs Pixhawk 2.0 Cube

    Set up a Cable Cam down the center of a descending road and my Solo promptly ran into a tree branch 5' from the set point. (Propeller guards were ineffective against the branches.) Are there ways to increase the accuracy? Would the mRo GPS u-Blox Neo-M8N/ 3DR SOLO Upgrade (mRo GPS u-Blox...
