---- Soldering in tight places is always a hassle. The Solo reminds me alot of the old Apple products and their components group build. The Solo motor pod is a one piece module that connects via 2 plug in wires and a multi-pin connector. You unscrew 4 screws, unplug 3 connectors and pop out a...

--- I had a motor pod failure. The motors seem to run warm... much warmer than other quads I have owned. 3DR did look at my logs and and were more than willing to help me out. They said they could have sent me out a motor, but since the unit was only a few days old they would have sent out a...

I had a Solo for 2 days. It has some great potential once the bugs are worked out and they are able to move on to new upgrades and enhancements in the software. I think the major issue right now is that 3DR fell to consumer whines and released the product too soon.. Yes there are confirmed...
