    Looking for help -- two crashes in two days

    I completed a factory reset (much easier than I'd anticipated), and a level and compass calibrations and took it out. Flew really well and as stable as it has been since I brought it back out of the box a couple of months ago! Thanks to all for the suggestions and advice. This forum has...

    Looking for Help -- two crashes in two days

    Are the reset instructions in the Solo users guide still valid? After the reset, are the instructions for installing open solo wiki still valid? My concern is that after factory reset, the solo and controller are unpaired, and the open solo instructions start with the system already paired...

    Installing Open Solo

    I'm trying to install open solo 4 on my system. Firmware hasn't been updated since 3DR days, but was up-to-date when I packed the system away 4 years ago. I recently purchased Solex, and would like to upgrade firmware. Solex and My system have worked ok for 4 trial flights. I'm following the...
