You get the same kind of scam here in the UK. My daughter got caught when she booked the theory part of her driving test. She learnt her lesson and it coat her £40!

A thought. You said it was for 3 years? Did they take your card details? Have you signed up for an automatic reregistration in 3 years time and every 3 years going forward at $24.99 each time?

Not just in Canada: Drone and plane in 'very near miss' over central London - BBC News Almost 5000' seems a bit high. I imagine flight time and battery to get to that altitude would be a challenge.

Tempting! :-)

Any news on price and if you'll ship to the UK?

Where and are the doing another one!? I :-)

Hi Maddog I've looked at night use but so far it's not really practical. I'm not much of a DIYer, so building a lighting system from scratch hasn't been an option. I have a set of Polar Pro LED lights, which are great for seeing the orientation of Solo from a distance and in the...

Hi guys, There's a lot of talk on the forum about deals offered by Best Buy and Solos on sale for less than $400. Here in the United Kingdom we're lucky to find one on sale for less than £700 (around $840). Does anyone know of a good deal on offer on this side of the pond? It looks likely...

Guys, Rather than start a new thread... Is it possible to recommend new functions to the developer? I'm in a search and rescue team in the UK and I've been setting up my Solo to use as a proof of concept demonstrator for SUAV. Some of the key limimitations I have on a low cost platform...

Can you post a link to the other cables? I tried mine on the solo for the first time last weekend. Not even a flicker of a picture. Very disappointed and wondering if it was worth spending £400 on the goggles.

BBC news website in the UK is reporting that a drone collided with a passenger plane on approach to Heathrow airport, London. No injuries and the aircraft was inspected and cleared to continue with its next flight. While the headline states the drone hit the plane, the report says "A plane...

Any coders/techies out there fancy a challenge? From a few of the posts here I understand that the Solo App OSD can be customised. I don't have the skills to do this and I hope one of you fine people is up to the job. Why? I'm a search and rescue volunteer in south Wales in the UK and...

I have FatShark Dominator HD2 goggles and a Sony Xperia Z4 tablet. I've connected them up with a MHL adaptor but get nothing in the goggles. FatShark support noted that the goggles need a 720p input on the HDMI. I guess the Sony's HDMI output is 1080p and not compatible. Anyone else got this...

After reading a number of posts on here about FPV I took the plunge and bought a Dominator HD2. Yes, more money than sense paired up with impulse control issues! I have a Sony Xperia Z4 tablet running Android 5.0.2, unpowered USB to HDMI adaptor and HD2 goggles. I may be a bit thick but the...

Good advice, thanks. One question. How can I discharge a Solo battery to 50%? "naked" LiPo packs can be discharged by some chargers but the Solo has its electronics in the battery case.
