@EyeWingsuit makes very good points. Thank you for the info about QT, I hope you are right about the government requiring apple to allow third parties to decode QT packages, but I think we have all seen what happens when the government tries to make apple do things. LOL. **Apple no longer...

I agree that there is no need to panic. Knowledge is power and knowing that Apple will no longer supplying security patch updates to windows users is all the info I need to no longer use quicktime as part of my digital toolbox. There are other applications that I can use that will patch their...

Fellow Solo and Go Pro owners! Apple is no longer supporting quicktime on windows machines with security updates! So if you use Go Pro studio (or even have it installed on your machine) then you also have quicktime, as go pro studio requires it. This only applies to those of us running...

You will have to modify the controller to hold a 10" tab. One way to do this is to drill two extra holes in the mount and remove and reattach to spring to the new holes.

I think I will try this. Hope I can find it easily around here. Would be nice if we could order it online through that link.

Thanks for the suggestions, I can't fight the feeling that I need to be oiling these pods, I will definitely take a look. Surprising I can't seem to find anything official about maintenance. I guess they do say to expect to replace your motor pods after 150 hours, maybe that is their maintenance...

I have had my solo for a few months now. I haven't used any oil on these stock motor pods even once yet. I do notice that the pods get "warm" after a flight but certainly not hot. Do these motor pods come shipped with a long lasting motor grease that shouldn't be "washed" out with cheap oil...

Yeah, I bought two cards with the intentions of replacing both, but after doing a distance test I figured I didn't need to replace the card in the solo at this point. I probably will do some mods on the solo in the future, (including putting that second card in) but for now, my solo does just...

I can only speak with confidence about what my experience has been with the 9582 chipset. I swapped out the card in the controller and it imporoved my range and ;made my connection to solo much more stable. I have not had a RTL when I shouldn't have one. Whereas before, I was having RTL at...

I did the MikroTik card swap in my controller before the last big update, and the update went flawlessly for me without changing a thing. (I looked up the drivers for the cards somewhere, so I was at least a little confident there would be no problems.) If I find the info for the drivers I will...

As far as I can tell the MikroTik wifi cards that you are talking about run on the same drivers that the stock solo wifi cards run on. Which is why someone looked into this mod in the first place. So in theory it should be a direct swap without patching drivers or any software changes at all...

I don't know of anyone that has "unlocked" the full potential of these cards that have the 9582 chipset, (the one's I have) but even if you were to "unlock" them, and by "unlock" I mean bypass the FCC regs that were put on these cards for sale in US, isn't there a limit in the solo software that...

My apologies. Of course not everyone will have the same experience, I hope your experience gets better.

I was out flying with a friend who also has a solo, his solo RTL due to low battery and didn't quite make it in time. At about 30 feet it started dropping fast but motors still spinning. It hit pretty hard but stuck the landing, the motors kept spinning and a second later it flipped over...

Funny, your still lurking around a solo forum after 3dr didn't replace your solo after it crashed. You won't get much play posting negative replies to someone who has already committed their money to solo. I'm sure there are P4 forums where you can anxiously await your pre order. Just don't...
