    Don't Let Law Enforcement Bully You - NYS Incident

    Kind of got mixed feelings on this one... both parties were respectful but it seems like everything would have been a non-issue had the driver just simply complied and showed ID early in the stop. I would like to think if somebody was around or near my house that I didn't know, potential he...

    Just another windmill...

    I've always wanted to fly my solo around one of the big wind turbines I pass when I'm driving out to Iowa but not sure about the legality of it, always chickened out

    firmware altitude limitations?

    Well as a private pilot, IMHO anyone who flies a drone out of site and through clouds where there could potentially be a airplane legally allowed to be flying IFR is an idiot and risking life and property... I don't care who has jusridiction, doesn't give a drone pilot license to do stupid stuff!

    GoPro Connectivity Issues

    Ok, I've occasionally had issues with live video feed but always been able to Forrest Gump my way through it... After updating to Solo 2.0 can't get a feed at all, verified camera set to 1080 medium 30 cycled power, tried all off, power up solo, controller then iPad and app, sometimes see what...

    FPV with solo and gopro

    Solo keeps talking about all this extra horsepower they've got with their twin Linux processors it seems like it would be very easy for them to put a nice graphical heads up display superimposed on the HDMI out
