If you are looking to be sure you get one of the $299 Solos with the latest GPS, I have found that the kits with the gimble installed are much later revisions and all seem to have the Rev B GPS. In addition the standard combo's will have it if your serial is at least S111A5A11171 or later in hex. The gimble installed combos with the backpack are S111A5BXXXXX which is well past the start. Very nice kit. The batteries will most likely go back down to $35 at some point as well as the props for $4. They keep switching it around.
In either case I thought this would be worth sharing for those interested in not having to mod their Solo out of the gate, or at least until you want to . The GPS lock I am getting is about 45 seconds repeatedly up to about 1 minute 15 seconds max where I am located in SE Michigan in overcast conditions (12-13 Sats in flight typical in sub optimal weather). The kits with pre-installed gimble are only available online by the way, but with free shipping, it will get to you in 2 days. Happy hunting. I have had mine for about 2 weeks now, flying at least once a day and I am having a blast. I look forward to this community and having many hours of enjoyable flight and video adventures.

Doug
