After changing the Solo battery, sometimes the controller cannot find solo for 10 minutes or more, despite having been recently connected. The Solo WiFi is no longer listed. The problem normally goes away overnight. This last time, after a test flight with my 5 minute battery, everything...

The calibration is grayed out/ inactive. I did find my old S6 phone, got it to charge and recalibrated from the Solo app. I suspect I will need to update my software, but wanted to get in a last flight before the snow.

Anyone have suggestions on what ro do with a Solo that went into a lake unpowered with a gimbal and GoPro? The battery was warm when I fished it out 2 hours later. I have not powered it up.

This is my first post I recently passed my sUAS Pilot exam. The FAA emphasizes the importance of maintenance logs. Does anyone know the expected life of a stock Solo motor? Are there other components I should track? I have noted erratic performance in cold weather, like inaccurate reporting of...
