    ** Do not move the solo by hand after powering on **

    Thanks for the heads up P2P. I had a similar experience the other day when Solo (2.4) gave me a little excitement when it went into fly:manual mode during a MPCC. I was able to recover and land safely. The tlog showed compass and horizontal variance alerts. I always let Solo remain still...

    Pre-registered to take remote pilot knowledge test

    I called my local Airman KTC last week to inquire about how to go about signing up to take the Knowledge Test. I got the impression they are still somewhat behind the curve on exactly what to expect, but they provided the email of the company, CATS in my area, to contact for pre-registration...

    Question about RTH

    If one wanted to just look at the HDOP and number of satellites, isn't that info in the tlogs on the device (android anyway)

    New Zipline 3D feature (well it's new to me)

    Thanks for the video. I have not tried zipline yet, but the video will help me get started when the app is available on android. It appears that the angle of the flight path is 90 minus the indicated camera angle. The video at the 1 minute 30 second mark shows a camera angle of 68 deg, which...

    I am using the Galaxy Tab S2 and it fits into the holder provided. I do like the device and as others have mentioned it is bright. I have the 3DR hood too, but I sill experience some glare. Could be from the protective cover, have not tried it without it. The Tab S2 is not on the recommended...
