When the wind is gusting over 35 knots my 3DR Solo is still the most stable aircraft in my fleet. I have a DJI Mavic Pro Autel Evo Parrot Bebop 2 3Dr Solo DJI Phantom 1 And way.to many r/c + gps guided fixed wings to list here My 3DR Solo is flown around 6 times per year. I have 18 model...

I bought one from mRo several years ago. 3D Fix takes 25 seconds and I have 17 - 21 satellies in view. Definitely worth the upgrade.

The EVO lives up to the radio range claims. I have been 3 miles out, no problems. The 32 minute flight time listed is an exaggeration. Must be for no wind at all. I average 18 minute flights with 30% charge left after RTH. The 4k camera is awesome. Obstacle avoidance is still a work in progress...

Do you still have batteries ?

I am still too [emoji215]to try it My old solo has been flying great with an old version of the original firmware. All I needed to do was update the GPS to the mRO replacement. She's been flying well for three years! I added an Autel Evo to my drone fleet. Maiden flight will be tomorrow...

What's the manufacturer date of the sealed batteries ? Are the batteries garunteed to be good ?

Sold.

3DR Solo Bird #1 has flown so well since 2016, no crashes that I don't need bird #2. It's complete with a gimbal.. I was going to update the GPS to the same mRO gps that's in #1 but I decided to sell it so I can add a RMRC Anaconda to my fleet.( Or another large wingspan, long fligh time fixed...

It sounds like this person that's complaining about range is flying where he shouldn't fly. Even if you are not a member of the AMA please read the flight rules because you are the reason why laws and regulations have been passed that limits our hobby. I can't even fly FPV with a spotter...

Find a club with an r/c field near open airspace where you can fly. My club is near a river inlet. I fly from the field, over the inlet.. over the coastline, over an island.. 2 miles out. AMA membership costs $70.00/year. Club costs me $100.00/year. Membership allows me to fly as a guest at any...

I still have my vintage futaba transmitter and receiver. 74 mhz. 4 channel

I had to block countries by CIDR address at my router. Yeah the SPAM and script kiddie hack attempt traffic is bad. The traffic was so high that I shut down www.nfnnet.org for a while to hopefully reduce the hack attempt traffic. All in incoming ports blocked

I have flown my Solo in 50 knot winds with no prolems. I will look for the footage, the whistle is even louder.

Here's a couple of videos. You can hear the whistle.. it's not bearings

My Solo don't struggle though lol
