    BMS won't power on after charge?

    Yarr, I purchased the battery readout tester from Madhacker, it gives a lot of information about your batteries. Might give you a clue about what’s up. Madhacker.org – If it can be modified, it should.

    Solo Firmware no longer updating??

    I just did it yesterday on the android app. Make sure you have an older android device that has not updated so that you can run the app. It takes a while, I thought it was going to fail, but it didn't.

    Solo Fly Away Lost GPS on Perfectly clear day...How to find it?

    I put the card back in the GoPro and it fixed the file. I lost some footage though, I have the part where Solo took off, but did not include the crash.

    Solo Fly Away Lost GPS on Perfectly clear day...How to find it?

    I have not heard back from my ticket with 3DR. I have downloaded the logs from the controller and solo. I've just installed Mission Planner on my PC and am trying to follow instructions about renaming the log files and getting them into MP. Right now it looks like a lot of stuff, but I really...

    Thanks, swiping the screen got us close. Went back at dark, saw the lights and found it. The GoPro camera fixed the file. The camera stopped mid-flight just after the drone shot up in altitude. I've never had the camera stop recording. It's a Hero3 and would not be able to start stop from...

    Swiping the app on the screen, got me close to the location. I went back at night, the battery was still on and saw the Lights, we bushwhacked about 200 yards and found it. It had cut through the briars ending upside down entwined. The props are sheared off, camera working but it had turned...
