Really didn't need another but that was just too good to pass up. Many thanks!

Yep, been there. Master Prop sells what I feel are the best stock-alike props at a reasonable price. Hoping you will take the following suggestion as intended (n the spirit of hoping you won't recreate some of my spectacular crashes): it would be beneficial to get some hours on the Solo flight...

Hi there, Yes, the aluminum hubs fit the (4.5mm) threads on the stock motors without modification. For clarity, the Teflon inserts are to allow the folding blades to rotate out with centrifugal force while having less play in the aluminum mounts. Since I did t find the trade-off of foldable...

I was considering installing a conventional rubber grommet vibration dampener, but initial flights with the There didn't seem to have any vibration issues. Not sure if there is electronic stabilization or if simply the mass of the camera battery is dampening things already. Improved resolution...

Done the same with Ricoh Theta S. Some benefits there with light weight and HDMI output (2 hemispheres). Light enough that I can dual mount gimbal and spherical at the same time without noticable flight impact. Using an adhesive GoPro mount on belly with camera angled to rear. This gives...

I took some photos and video with the intention of doing a comprehensive report, but here is the "very quick" version: Blades seem to be actual carbon fiber in spite of the low price. Very stiff and strong. Holes in blades were too snug to allow movement against screw. Easily fixed with a small...

Just a laundry list of issues... sure wish Kelly used a bug tracking tool. Much easier to navigate than 1000+ messages in a thread or FB forums. Solex Bugs and Feature Requests Bug: Timeout on download of any firmware prevents downloading of any further files without cleanup procedure and...

Sure enough... that's a stupid oversight on my part not to recognize that Tower does indeed to surveys and spline surveys. Even with your description, I had to search out a video in order to understand that the freehand drawing tool is what allows this. Thanks for pointing that out. I will edit...

I've been using QGC, MP, and Tower for some time. Just purchased Solex + Missions last week (partially due to curiosity and the raves it seems to be receiving in these forums). Since I've switched from a Windows tablet to Android (Dell Venue 10, 5.1) MP has fallen to disuse. QGroundControl...

i was just accurately communicating the behavior I observed as I recognize that the team may not have the ability to thoroughly test on a wide variety of equipment. It repeatedly failed to download any firmware in 10 or so attempts, but worked like a charm once I dropped the SoloLink_ SSID so...

I had a similar issue, finally realizing that repeated firmware download failures were due to Solex repeatedly trying to reconnect with the vehicle. Finally resolved by telling Android to "forget" the "SoloLink_..." SSID. Really don't understand why Solex would require vehicle connection in...

While I've been building multicopters for years, I've only had my Solos for a few weeks and finally just broke down and got Solex and the Missions add-on last night. I very much appreciate Kelly breathing new life into the Solo app and adding so many new features. That said, there are quite a...

Solex mission import appears broken. I receive "error importing mission" when attempting to import any missions created in QGC... even very simple ones. (attempted to upload sample but forum blocks that file extension)

I've also been struggling to find folding props. Doubt they would fly any better, but I'd like the convenience of keeping them installed and they tend to give a bit on collisions and break less than standard props. I also figure that when a prop breaks, it will typically be just one blade and...
