    Telemetry Question

    So the controller displays distance and altitude. Is this distance & altitude from launch point or from the controller? In other words, if i move closer to the drone with the controller (without moving the drone) will the distance reduce? The reason I ask this is because of the issue during...

    What improvements would you like to see if there was a Solo 1.5?

    The ability to use SOLO for follow-me without needing the controller. This is for filming sports and such. It would require a direct connection from smartphone/device to solo w/out the need for the controller. Additional features need to be added to the app, such as the option to RTH, autoland...

    What's the best way to use the batteries?

    How low is it recommended to drain your batteries during flight? (for keeping maintaining long battery life). I have heard a wide range of things from stopping at 40-50%, 20-25% and 10-15%. Obviously these are expensive batteries so I would like to use them in a way that would prolong their...

    How susceptible has your SOLO been to the wind?

    Burkeam, You were right on the money. 3DR Support got back to me and said the logs show a motor gone bad caused solo to flip. I will be sending it back for repairs... I will be counting the days until i get it back. Thank you all for you input. Much appreciated.

    How susceptible has your SOLO been to the wind?

    I think it may be a GPS problem for me because Solo is much more stable in Manual/Stabalize modes at this point. It's only flipped (while airborne) while on FLY mode even though it showed GPS connection. I've tried it in different location and same behavior. In general now even with GPS...

    How susceptible has your SOLO been to the wind?

    Yeah I did both yesterday and it flew pretty well after (although winds weren't as strong) but then today it went back to being very unstable in the wind and flipping over.

    How susceptible has your SOLO been to the wind?

    I have had Solo for about a month and up till recently I felt SOLO was very good at handling wind using GPS modes. Recently however, I have been losing control of Solo in the wind (moderate winds up to 16mph). I have had Solo flipped on me about 6 times out of control. Is this normal given...
