I gave up as upon inspection, I could not see any physical damage. So I ordered a replacement.

Hi Guys. If you have old dead solo batteries you are not wanting anymore, feel free to give me a buzz. We can talk a fee, if you like, and of course I pay cartage. I am based in Cape Town.

It is like the power save is broken

After opening my controller to tighten an aerial nut, I now get a white screen for a moment when i power on, and while charging the display and the Backlit buttons won't turn off. Also when switching the controller off while it is being charged, the windmill animation freezes and the display...

I am curious;what was the smart battery reporting regarding the voltage? Did you ignore the 25% Warning? What was the % when you landed? The idea definately has merit.

Calling all solo pilots in ZA. Do you have an old solo battery that no longer charges, or gives dismal flight time or is even dead? If you have not tossed it yet, please pm me as I am on the lookout for one.

I have discharged the problem battery twice with my imax b6ac clone,so accuracy could be a problem. Anyways I get it down to 12.4v, and then charge up again. Done that twice now. I will do it one more time and then try it for a flight.

The python scripts need to be automated. I wonder how much juice it needs in terms of reduced flight time. And then Lastly, dollars?

Well, I decided to jump off the cliff here and got one of these 75usd solo for spares off ebay. At rate of exchange is 14:1 it is a bit scary what I will get, but from what you gents say, I can expect at least 3 working motors, a body with board, and the anything else is a bonus. The motors...

Disable 'save to camera roll', as it is already saving to the sd card. Then live stream stays smoother. It's all your firmware up to date? Gimbal = 1.3.6 and solo = 2.4.2

I have both, and jump between them. Just close one before using other.

Hi South Africans. I am trying to source this accessory bay plug locally, but have been unsuccessful. Anyone in ZA won't go part with one? I can get off aliexpress, but 1 month wait and I don't need 10.

HI David. This is very encouraging. Just one thing, must I replace all 4,or can I just swopout one when required?

I hope this turns out to be true. Exchange rate is 14:1 here so I must look at all options to reduce 14x outlay.

I keep reading everywhere that solo 3dr only works with firmware v3.
