Good news for Solo - Dynamic Altitude

[Vegasrobbi]

I purchased a Typhoon H for a lot of reasons, one being dynamic altitude in Follow mode. I run trails in the mountains and need this altitude correction by the FC rather than manual input.

Well turns out the H didn't do a good job with altitude correction; but I was surprised how well Solo and a Mini 4 did. I drove down many trails with well over 100 foot elevation change and Solo Followed right along. Too bad I had a crappy lens on that day, but just another reason to like my Solo.

Just thinking out loud, the Samsung Galaxy S7 has a barometer, has anyone tried it with Solo yet?? I am up for a new phone and was thinking the S7.

Altitude follow works with iPhone 6/6s/+ and iPad mini4/Air2 only I am afraid.

Why only with those if the S7 has a barometer as stated?

I'm going to post on the Yuneec Pilot forum they have some reps over there. The H needs some attention like Solo did a year ago.

Nice JK Now when you find out what we do your wife will hate you. We install Corvette LS engines in JK's, converted about 200 so far. The orange 13' in the video is from AZ and has a 450 HP LS3 with a 6 speed automatic.

No Wife, happy life.

What's the cost on something like that...Maybe I will hurry up and blow my engine and tell the wife it's only small upgrade to a motor I need anyway haha

Turnkey swaps start at about$15k for a 325 HP engine with a 6 speed automatic. Most customers go for a 6 liter or 6.2 LS3 Vette engine which is about 450 HP, all aluminum and compact. The JK is amazing with an all aluminum LS engine and modern transmission. Our customers include John Currie, Walker Evans........

Were working on the new Gen V continuous VVT, direct injection engines. The L86 Gen V LS 6.2 engine puts out about 430 HP, has over 11:1 compression ratio, runs on regular gas and has 4 cyl mode. Were building a couple L86's now and hope to get muscle car performance with 20ish mpg, in a 6,000 lb JK. Our Gen IV 5.3 swaps will get 20 mpg but only in light JK's with<35" tires.

Good lord. I can't even picture WHY. Other than simply because you can, which is perfectly acceptable.

Nice Work Robbi! 6.2L in a Jeep. Now that you have the HP where it needs to be, just do a little suspension work and we can run Barstow to Vegas together!..

I would imagine dynamic altitude works with every phone with a barometer. It's not about being Apple.
I tried skiing while filming myself in follow mode but that didn't work on a Galaxy tab s2 tablet, no barometer there. I have to try with my lg g4 though.

Actually early JK's with the 3.8 engine were grossly overpowered. Adding lifts, armor, winches etc. made them hazards on the highway. Many heavy JK's could not even hold the speed limit in the mountains or in a headwind, there is a definite need.

[/drooling] I have to be content that my wife lets me have a Jerky (super clean '99 4.0 with 138k)... which by the way she totaled two weeks ago and I have to wonder if it wasn't intentional.
