I am using both the stock app and the Solex app, both work perfectly. If I am out of range for wifi I use my cell and allow it to (forgot the word) tether to the Solo controller. The satellite images then are easily viewed. I am completely happy with this tablet and I think the 10" would even be...

I have been using a Plum 7 inch phablet with great results, currently $75 on Amazon -...

Got it, Thank you.

I know some where on our forum there is a link on how to get into Mission Planner but cannot find it. I need to adjust the roll on my system. Can someone post the method? Thank you

Yes, the V2 shield from 3DR. It took a little more than two weeks for it to arrive to me in CA. I was also worried as there was no tracking etc. but it finally got here.

Hey guys, sorry I should have posted better information. The series is called BREAKTHROUGH. It is season 2. The hour long episode is called Game of Drones. So search Breakthrough, season 2 episode 5. I hope you get it. They have a sequence in there where they try about a dozen machine guns to...

Thanks for the V2 shield info. I also should have mentioned I have the MRO setup. The 3D printed shield is my own design, will leave it on. Definitely check out the show. The more I thought about it the more interesting it became.

I can get closer. There is actually a road in the valley below the target, but that is easy. I like reading about the challenges others have tried. That being said, I will probably try that closer route first just to test out the WiFi and other issues in the area before making the grand voyage...

Thanks for the feed back. That test along the Alligator Alley is most impressive. First, I had not thought about one each antennae but obviously using the two Alphas has a huge advantage. One big unknown is the amount of WiFi that will be coming from the college campus just to the right in my...

Hello all, I am on a hilltop in Santa Barbara that has a surrounding valley of about 200 degrees. There are a few homes, mostly small ranches and a college off to one end. I have been wanting to fly my Solo to a line of sight hilltop that has the remains of a famous, unoccupied spa that has some...

I use a Plum 8" with great results, no sim card. Around $80, refurbished less - Amazon.
