Indeed the new Solo came with the old Rev A GPS and copper shield. I purchased both the shields and Rev B GPS for both Solos. I haven't had a chance to fly lately but the it appears that the older Solo with the new Rev B and copper shield that came with the Rev B GPS and my cardboard fix...

I am and have already ordered the second shield but it seems to be taking a little longer to get shipped than the first when I ordered. Since I saw such a difference with my two units I ended up putting the newer Rev B on the 2nd Solo. I had purchased two of them but waited to install the...

Agree, I was surprised at the difference.

Just a heads up... I haven't finalized my test and need to edit the videos for the test that I did today but was able to see some real differences between the Rev A and Rev B units. Test Equipment: 1st Solo purchased in Dev 2015 has new Rev B and copper shield that came with the unit shipped...

Got the Rev B boards today. Installed one on my Solo that took a dip in the lake in NY last week. This one still has the copper foil shield. I must say that there is a big difference even with the copper shield in this Solo. Captures very quickly and seems to hold better. I'll be installing...

Notice any difference?

I am impressed that you went with Solo. I hope that you got the 599 deal. Enjoy. This forum has an incredible amount of great information.

Thanks - busy day They cost $60 each

Update on repair. My Solo that took a bath in the lake in NY works. Got the GPS working but my location for GPS isn't good plus KP Index is currently 4. Had a second Solo with the new GPS shield and it took way longer then I had hope to capture satellites and lost GPS when landing with the...

Yes it was a like scene called "That was stupid" I'll post the very end of the footage ending with a look of wtf did I do... and water starting to envelope the lens. That makes sense!!!

Just got done chatting with 3DR on my mistake giving my Solo a short bath. Totally my fault so just wanted to see if I could get a new GPS module since it doesn't seem to be working. Here is a quick brief of what happened. Landed on a dock on the lake Back legs went into gap between boards...

Just read it in the post on 599 is back... Take off the GPS cover (page 45 of the user manual). Green is rev A, black is rev B.
