Is there a way to skip pre-checks?

[yhax]

Just wondering if there is a way to skip the pre-checks and just start the Solo? i.e. if I want to skip the searching for satellites / gps lock, and just start the motors, is that possible? (I understand I'd be losing RTM etc..)

First you have to enable advanced in the Solo app settings.
Then go over to the settings where you can reassign the A
and B button, where now you will find Fly:Manual. That's what
you may know as Alt Hold, where the Solo will maintain altitude
but drift with the wind.

Activate this mode at any time by hitting the button (A or B) you assigned. To switch back, press the Fly button and GPS mode will kick in.

I hope you know what your doing if you are going to be flying manual.

Thanks! I had gotten as far as setting advanced mode, but couldn't figure out how to set it to fly manual.

Definitely not ready to fly manual, just wanted to know how to skip that searching screen when I'm eventually ready for it or just doing something random in a controlled space.

Thanks again!
