    Hey I have a Solo I would sell you. I have several. I have a new one with gimbal, spare battery and props. It has one short test flight. Make me an offer.

    Not a fly-away but not far from it. Solo rolled upside down and slammed to the ground

    Hey KoofProof, 3DR stated it was a "brown out" which I assume means some sort of partial power failure. I sent the Solo to them and it took them about 30 days to return to me a refurbished one. It was definitely a used drone I got back but it does work. One word of caution about the 3DR...

    Questions on Solo's bin file naming process

    Interesting! I am only seeing 10 bin files on my two solos. When the ticket was done the logs did not go through initially so they specifically asked for the .BIN files. I emailed them to 3DR. They did their analysis and said the Solo experienced a brownout. I recieved an RMA number and...

    Awesome video work and thank you for the great look at your beautiful state. I am heading to Oahu in June and I'll be bringing both my Solos, loads of batteries, GoPro camera set ups and such.

    Solo parts help please.

    Hi ChadB126! BradG47 here! LOL Before you spend your hard earned money on parts do you know for certain the crash really something you did wrong? If Solo just had a mind of its own and went off and crashed, like my two Solos have done once each, you need to create a Support Ticket with 3DR...

    Here is an excerpt from the Ardupilot about common sources of magnetic interference and a basic guide how far away to be from such interference. From: Community: — ArduPilot documentation Magnetic Interference Natural and Artificial Magnetic Anomalies Warning Note: The following...

    Can someone with experience look at this bin log file from a minor crash?

    Thanks!! Understood and I did the compass and level calibration in my front yard and I was like maybe 30 feet from my house. As far as powering up and arming? This begs the question, how far away from potential interference is it safe? Are we talking 20 feet or 200 feet? I also assume a...

    Can someone with experience look at this bin log file from a minor crash?

    Hey Pedals2Paddles.. Thank you for the info. After this happened I ran through the two calibrations and since then I have flown it a few times and it hasn't drifted off. So when people put that different GPS in, does that help prevent this problem? Or is there something else to do to prevent...

    Can someone with experience look at this bin log file from a minor crash?

    No, no and no. So who on this forum knows how to interpret the logs? :-)

    Can someone with experience look at this bin log file from a minor crash?

    I live out in the country and I was in my front yard. It was 70 degrees, zero wind, not a cloud in the sky. There should not have been any wireless interference. The houses around me are 300+ yards away if not more. Do you know how to get info out of these logs? Thanks!!

    Can someone with experience look at this bin log file from a minor crash?

    Can someone with lots of experience with bin logs analysis look at the attached bin file and see why you think a brand new Solo decided it wanted to do something no good? This was the second flight since new. The first flight was perfectly fine. This flight when it was in hover and should be...
