seems like everyone is developing Arducopter, but like you said, there are just a few generous souls that does the coding. I stand corrected.It doesn't sound like you know much about 3DR, and Solo or Rob Lefebvre. To be precise, there were 4 dedicated developers for Ardupilot supported b Arducopter y 3DR. of which Rob Lefebvre was one. Without them there would be no Arducopter as we know it today. There would be no Solo either. Where did you come up with an absurd number of 500? Because it's open source? If that's how you look at it, then even you are an Arducopter developer. You don't know what you're talking about. Do you think it's a coincidence AC 3.4 is several months late?
3DR dropped all support for Ardupilot which put those four devs out of work, but now there is Ardupilot.org which will hopefully be funded through other sources. Pixhawk 2 is being developed as open source now which 3DR is not funding either. Go to DIY Drones and do some research to save YOURSELF from looking like a fool.
It is true Arducopter and Solo had a separate team, but they share the exact same code with Solo having its own proprietary code for things like MPCC.
The question remains: Is what Rob Lefebvre said true or not?

You have answered your own question " Is what Rob Lefebvre said true or not"
It's my opinion, but a obvious one, 3dr caned Rob Lefebvre & stopped funding project " Financially Speaking"
Sound like you know a lot about 3DR?
I would think that Rob Lefebvre, would be the last guy i would ask Private Corporate info from , he may have a Axe to grind with 3dr?
There is more then enough proof that 3DR is planning a bright future for it self in this world of multirotor all built on a past & presently a solid foundation.
We have been hearing " The sky is falling" for a long, long time here @3drPliots.
As long as 3DR is promoting their products "Solo" & dealing with warranty then i say that 3Dr is alive & kicking!
Not looking for a argument, just facts
"The sky isn't falling"
Everyone, go & enjoy your Solo, Until 3DR makes the Solo II...
