You, @TheBasicPilot, are a master of your craft. Thanks for the video. The face painting really made me LOL.
Nice Video and makes feel a little better after spending so much... What about parts such as motors. If Mine go out where can I get replacements???
Other than the GPS issues, I believe the beginners still can get great experiences with all stock components.
As for gps, with stock gps and no mod, when firing up Solo the first time, find a wide open space, let Solo wait for few more minutes because Solo needs to acquire the GPS info and fills it's memory. Once the GPS is stored, sequence start will be shorter.

One of the more fun and entertaining things I have done this morning!
The video went perfect with my big cup o' coffee. Thanks for making AND posting it. Nice job..

My question is why should we have to pay for the new improved gps. This doesn't sound ethical to me.
Remember, these upgrade gps units are from 3rd party vendors, not 3DR. They deserve compensation for their development and testing of a better product for us.
I wish the controller & iMX6 computer software were open source too.
And I do not see any reason to replace the Pixhawk cube that's already inside, the standard AC should be able to run on it just fine. (it needs battery monitoring over I2C , but that's open)

Let's not forget the great/good changes/improvements that are still coming Releases · 3drobotics/ardupilot-solo · GitHub
much is done since the 1.3.1 that the 3DR app installed.

I had a brain fart. Thought it was 3dr that made it. But 3dr makes the new gps shield and charges $30 for what feels like rubber. They really shouldn't charge that much for their mistake.
The shield is something designed to help the stock gps, and almost everyone on here who has installed it says it makes a world of difference. Well worth the $30. On the flip side, there are several on here who have flown with the stock gps, along with the original copper shield, with no problems at all, and have done so from the beginning. So I don't think the new shield was made to fix a mistake, but rather to just make it better.
Just loved it. The cuts, the humour and [of course] the whole story. And anyone who keeps the bloopers in gets double votes too
