Pre-programmed & sync'd flight paths

[Brettjb]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if the 3DR Solo can be configured (with addons) to do the following:
- Can the Solo have a specific flight-path pre-programmed?
- Can multiple Solo's with pre-programmed flight-paths be initiated (ie take off) and be syncronised to ensure that they cross paths (not physically) at certain points and times?
(edit)
- Can there be a separate RF device integrated with the Solo which allows for updating of waypoints whilst in flight?

I am very interested in the 3DR, and could be looking at a purchase of 4 or more for specific purposes, but need to know that they can meet my requirements.

Thanks,
Brett

The answer to number 1 is Yes, it certainly can. While you are waiting for other people to answer questions 2 and 3, go to the android app store and download the TOWER app from 3dr. That is the ground control software. If you prefer windows, the application is called Mission Planner. There are many cool things the Solo can do. GPS waypoints is absolutely one of them.
