    The first step of ruining/fixing the hobby

    Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Registration If you own a drone, you must register it with the Federal Aviation Administration's Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) registry. A federal law effective December 21, 2015 requires unmanned aircraft registration, and you are subject to civil and criminal...

    Tower questions

    Yes, "Return to Launch" and yes it does return to the launch point and land just as if you were to push the Home button on your controller. It will climb to the height you have specified in the settings if it is below that. If it is above that it will just return home and land. Of course you...

    Tower questions

    I've used Tower a few time and never had this problem, however I've always made my last waypoint a Return to Home. Once it goes into RTH, I can take control by pressing the FLY button if I don't want it to land.

    FYI Prop+Hub Balancing

    I've also been very happy with the hot glue method. I dries fast and sticks well. Like User Name said, "you can peel it off, but it takes effort". I used scotch tape to balance the blades and after a few weeks it is still there. Even after a short flight in the rain. I am planning on...

    Can anyone tell me what this means???

    I've heard that sound when I had a problem with my GPS module inside SOLO. 3DR sent me a new module and after I installed it, no more alert. This was before I got my gimbal so I don't think it has anything to do with that but you may have worked loose a connection inside when you installed...

    Unexpected surprise

    I received one as well. I came in the mail on Monday Aug 31st. Don't really know why, I bought my Solo from BB. Registered it of course but bought it from BB.

    Dear 3DR

    Of course it was fake... Have you ever seen a Monkey fly anything? When you saw the video for the first time did you think "well if that monkey can do it I know I can"??? Return you Solo and quit this forum

    Interesting simple GPS mod from Facebook

    That sounds like a fabulous idea! I have had GPS issues and have been looking to this forum for some easy mods as I am not that good with "tinkering". I have already ordered the M8N and am excited to get it. Thank you for your suggestion. :)

    Interesting simple GPS mod from Facebook

    I attempted this mod last night and ran into a problem. I pinched the connector on the GPS module very carefully and before I even pulled on the connector, it came off the board. Any ideas how to fix this or where to buy a new GPS module?

    M8N Mod Video Tutorial and Test

    I was working on a mod from another thread and ended up breaking the connector off of the original NEO-7n. So I decided to try this mod and ordered the parts today. I will post my results when I get it. I'm more excited about this one than the other one. Thanks for the info... Update, I...

    News article on DroneFlyers.com

    Not sure I agree with everything they said about the Solo!?!? My experience and the few friends I have that bought the Solo have not had any problems with the exception of WiFi range and the Gimbal not released yet. Other than that it's been a pretty solid machine...

    lost signal at 200 ft

    I was losing signal at about 400' with the stock antennas and the Solo would RTH. I bought the TP-LINKs off of amazon because they are so cheap. I've gone as far as 1500' (from "home") at an alt of 400' with them. One problem I do have is the signal strength "icon" on the Solo app goes red as...

    Interesting recovery after Impact..

    I recently had a similar experience, right after Solo recovered the video stopped but I stood there for a second of 2 waiting for it to crash but it stabilized quickly and waited for me to continue flying. :oops::)
