    Attention - All ‘Down Under' Solo Pilots, BRAND NEW BATTERIES! - ( Sealed in original Retail Packaging. )

    5pct? I personally try to never run mine much below 15pct. If you run em down too far, they just don't seem to come back as well. I've heard however, that there's a way to run them all the way down to zero pct and then do some kind of a referesh. Don't remember how that works tho.

    New Solo-Won’t Turn On

    Sounds like an esc. I think that the esc's are built into the motor pods. You can easily find them on eBay for like 25 bucks last I checked.

    Mission Planner How to get the altitude?

    What do you want to know? How to allow Solo to go higher? The altitude and distance should be shown on the controller screen during flight already.

    With the new laws out it would be nice to have a study group thread

    Unfortunately it's a buck fifty each time. So study up and pass it the first time. Good luck!

    New Canadian Laws

    I noticed that the exam fee is $5 for the Canadian certificate. What is the Part 107 up to, here in the good ole US of A now? Like a buck sixty a pop? Niiice!

    Max range...

    With a pair of Alphas, mRo board and being up on a mountain over a valley with little to no wifi interference, I've had my Solo out a bit past 14 thousand feet. Fpv was still quite solid. That was far enough for me tho! Hit return to home and she came back and landed with 12 pct bat to spare...

    Mro GPS Settings

    I have the mRo board, purple I believe and it's been in Solo for almost a year now. Been an awesome upgrade. Locks like 20 sats in 30 secs or so. It definitely does have a USB port, although I've never had a reason to use it.

    Blocked by Paul Dinardi and Phil Rowse

    Wow! Grow up guys! Enough comparing dick sizes. We all need to work on this problem together to find a solution. There are already several ways to use other batts for Solo but it can be a ( dangerous ) pain in the ass. I doubt a company would cancel negotiations on a new project because of one...

    Flight distance SOLO 3DR ..?

    Alfa antennas will help alot, but it really depends on where you fly. If there's alot of wifi interference it greatly decreases the range. In town I've had mine rth because of lost signal at less than 1000 feet. Up on top of a mountain in Pennsylvania, it went out past 15 thousand with barely a...

    Open Solo 3.0.0 back to 2.4.2

    I could be wrong, but if you do a manual factory reset, I think it will go back to the original firmware. Others in this forum would know better than me I'm sure. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using 3DRPilots Drone Forum mobile app

    Three blade prop conversion for Solo.

    Maddog Yeah I know, but they just came out as far as I know, and a set of the MAS props are 20 something bucks. I did this mod about a year ago and never really thought to share it. Plus it only cost about $10 and maybe half an hour with a bench grinder and then to rebalance. They are also...
