I love the new AFS system
A upgrade from the Fail Safe system we all use RTH, if lost Radio contact then RTH.
Advanced Fail Safe allows you to set pre designated rules that the drone will do if lost of GPS &/or radio Contact!

Example given was It lost of GPS, then pre designated rules kickin:
pre designated rules #1
"If Done out of give fence area, then land immediately "crash land"
What i get from this is, no more fly aways!

Advanced Failsafe Configuration — Plane documentation

Edit, just read it for plane?

that unit looks a bit heavy too
just imagine though as they are able to shrink these down, and solo would happen to get rebased to master
wohoooo!

What's wrong with you?
over $1000
I can see $250 or maybe even $400!
You already have the best object avoidance system installed on Solo! It'a the Gopro & your eye's
