Thanks Frank! I used to be an old fart, but when I look at the solo over there, I think I'm an old shart. Maybe poking around might motivate me to get bird two up and running. I loved the 3DR in the day. I felt like i was really flying something worth the trouble it should have gotten me...

Unable!

Hi Folks, it's been a LOOONG time sinse I've been around. Like long enough ago that when I was here last, you could buy 3DR parts at Best Buy. And I did. I spent way too much money on 2 birds and a lot of extras. So I flew Bird One for like 6 months with Solex and really loved it. Played...

I just did the 8 question free practice test. Same old FAA test prep gouge!

Pyrate, once you practice with the actual questions, they are easy. Its just rote memorization. I know you will rock iit if you practice with the actual questions.

Yes, I am a pilot, but it looks like they (Gleim) have a 107 written prep. All FAA test questions should be exactly duplicated on the Gleim practice tests. I have always just practiced using the questions from Gleim until I know them cold, then rock the test. As a pilot the written test is...

Gleim is a great way to cram for any aviation written. I used them for most all of my ratings and scored very high. Drones - Gleim Aviation

Sure you can.

Did you see the flight path? They did a full 180 it looks like. That is a pretty drastic few turns.

Kelly covered this in another thread I think. Basically he said he would have to change the firmware to enable the correct configuration for aviation lights. The app used to say "aviation" but when it was pointed out that the lights were reversed, he noted the issue and changed the app to...

Cold turkey can cause protracted withdrawal syndrome for addicts, be careful!

30$, still a bargain!

Hi all, I am looking to see if there are any Solo pilots in the upstate NY area. I am messing around with mapping and want to share notes with someone local. I am learning as much as I can about Mission planner, Tower, Solex, and using Pix4d to practice mapping. I hope I can find some local...

Solex is the best way to Change your light colors. Solex is a paid app for Android. It is 20$ I think, but it is well worth it.

Thanks for pointing that out ZdroneZ, I just picked up two more batteries. I think I set now, I have 7 batteries now and two Solo drones complete with Gopros. That should cover me for a year I hope.
