    Solo Bricked?

    Not cool. You have no idea what he is doing. He might have health issues, he might be in the hospital. He might have moved on. Let's not play that game.

    Just purchased a 3DR solo

    So you find these as good deals for a reason. 3DR Solo is now ONLY focused on commercial drones and such. But, there is hope as I also bought on last year and the first thing I did was to install Solex (for Android which I used) or sidepilot (for IOS) and get the the old 3DR firmware off...

    A way to stay in business with Solo?... batteries

    I'd take a look at this youtube video as there is a place you can get a new battery pack, cover, etc. These are NOT OEM batteries, but yet have tested for replacement . and you can buy the stuff from his store here: 3DR Solo Parts

    NEW to Drones - own a Solo and parts to upgrade - BUT dont have a clue how.

    For those with a 3DR Solo and stock firmware. Don't let is set as a paper weight. If your scared then just post and someone like me might get another heck of a deal. I bought mine on a whim for $300 with a backpack, 4 batteries and some other goodies because some did not want and was afraid...

    OpenSolo and python and such

    Hey does anyone have a video or code examples of using Python with my newly acquired and upgrade 3DR SOLO with OpenSolo and ArduCopter. I basically for a first test just want to take it off the ground and say fly a square. thanks!

    Solo Bricked?

    Don't lose hope and follow what @Davideo said as I actually bought a 3dr Solo really cheap off Ebay and did the whole process today on an older android. I did try just to jump straight to Open Solo , but got a preinstall error and so had to factory reset the Solo. After I did this, I used...
