    Preparing for Winter.

    Getting time soon to put my Solo's away for winter in North central U.S. My concern is keeping my batteries healthy during the hibernation period. I thought I read 20% charge is good. My DJI does it automatically after default preset of 10 days of non use. Does our 3DR ' s do this? Any...

    Solo Flipped when Armed

    My brother had this happen with his solo using tower. If you want me to get more info I can sure call him. I recall him saying it was how he executed a tower mission. But this was a long time ago.

    Is Anyone flying their Solo with Stock GPS? Poll

    Best to upgrade GPS board. Issue then over. There are a mods on this forum that will help but replacing it is best. Sent from my SM-N900V using 3DRPilots Drone Forum mobile app

    DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY

    The 3DR I bought from them states 90 day warranty. Then you can buy additional warranty for like 49 bucks. I never seen where it said it was a factory 3DR warranty however.

    Amazon 3DR Solo $229.

    Not only do they look good (to me), they protect the new finish. May also save a scratch or two on a unfortunate scrape or crash.

    Amazon 3DR Solo $229.

    Was not to bad. Just took my time. You can keep peeling it back and reposition if required. Mighty Skins has tons of diff skins for the solo. I went wild on this one. Here is another one of mine.

    Amazon 3DR Solo $229.

    No gimbal. Came with all the normal new in box items. Accessories boxes where unopened. Flys like a Solo - Awesome. I put the GPS mod in, no sense of the hassle of GPS issues, I get easily 20+ sats everytime and very quickly. Some day the Solo availability will dry up you would think. They must...

    Amazon 3DR Solo $229.

    I bought my third solo. A factory refurb in new condition for 189.00 plus freight off of eBay about 3 weeks ago. Came with 3 month warranty. Not sure who warrants it however. But I can fix any issues. I could not resist the price. Was afraid when I opened the box but was very happy to see all...

    Forgot Solo WiFi PW

    I agree. Factory reset can be a pain if it fails. I had to do my first one and it went ok. But my trust in the Solo was damaged for awhile. Was afraid that something may go wrong in flight. But all is well.

    Spend the 80 bucks. Easily get 20+ satellites in no time. GPS issues not even a consideration. Spend more time flying and using all its features. I have got 2 Rev B's and 1 Rev A just sitting in box.

    Just had signal loss and crash with my new Solo

    Phil, I am sorry your experience has not been a good one. I have not posted yet on this forum due to my 3 solo's and myself have not experienced any issues. (Fingers crossed.) Its a shame when a person has an issue and posts on this forum for advise and get talked down to like you did. I have...
