I was focusing on discharging and haven't tried to charge. So, not much help. Would love to read other hacks.

Greetings. This topic is voluminous. Apologies. Wired a XT60 connector between Solo Battery Connector, Solo Charger Brick. I'm too cheap to order a Molex Connector. Maybe useful for storage/discharge. Don't pay attention to the IMax screen. It is not attached. 2A @14.8v would not be what I use...

Solex is worth it at twice the price. I don't mind the delay in GPS lock. I am cautious by nature and figure the time is best spent going through a pre-flight checklist. I've flown many, many times. One time I forgot to put my aftermarket antennae on the controller. Scared me. I check...

My experiments with Flir One on a Solo. A FLIR Vue Pro R is the exact thing, but I have a customer that wants cheap and fast. So... Mounted on accessory bay with IMP camera mount with extension lightning cable. The form factor with rounded corners is a b**ch. Velco a decommissioned IPhone on...

Too many flights to count. Zero crashes. I practice weekly with small acrobat quads. Manual on the Solo is easier because it is slow. Finger/muscle memory on sticks is what I am after. However, I didn't use any smart shots for the first 6 months of flying. The Solo app bugged out too many times...

Echo "Enjoy more, worry less."

FWIW. I think that learning to fly diagonals, squares, circles, ups and downs, flips and such with a Hubsan in sport mode would be excellent. Might as well get the finger/muscle memory to fly without much thinking with a cheaper bird. I've never had my Solo in Acro mode. When I bought in, it was...

echo Hubsan x4.

Slight off topic post. Has anyone successfully received a Solo from Innovative UAS @USD $579 and free shipping to US CONUS? 3dr Solo with 3dr solo gimbal - Innovative UAS

Thanks! Will be placing order directly.

I agree to abide

Ha, come to central Kansas and we'll fly some corn fields together. Great fun.

An update. 3DR was great. Transaction sorted, discount applied and Solo is good to go. Thanks Jared G. Very excellent and not a problem. Looking forward to pre-flight jitters.

Thanks Orin. Plan to. Watching my credit card transactions as well. Been saving up and got paid at the end of the month, so I was really wishing I could save the $200 and buy an extra battery. Teacher salaries in Kansas are getting rough these days...

Ordered on the 31st with the DIYD20OFF and the order was accepted. This morning received email that order was cancelled. Things that make me go hmmm.
