    Solo motors lifespan????

    Thanks ! .... That was going to be my next question on just replacing the bearings as long as the motor windings are still good .. .... Figured that would be a lot cheaper than trying to replace the motor ... However, with the technology moving faster than before ... a new motor...

    Bruce... Noticed this thread and always wanted to ask .... What would be a recommended motor replacement for the Solo? I would have to imagine there are some very good motor replacements out there.

    Another "Magnetic interference" Thread

    Like you, I really like the design of the Solo package .. I have two of them and seems to have issues with the gimbal area .. Way too much jittery pics that could have been resolved by a ribbon cable .. and the height of the bird itself seems to be a bit low .. even in freshly mowed grass ...

    Another "Magnetic interference" Thread

    You are correct on the calibration stated above .. From what I understand "slapping the belly" of the Solo apparently fixes IMU [Accelerometers] not the compass issue.. YEP! Thought it was a bit weird performing the sequence I described .. but it did work .. From what I was told the cube...

    Obstacle avoidance

    I think it would be a great mod for the 3DR Solo also .. Guess I'm not smart enough on how to connect some items together ... From what I read on 3DR today .. they are tied in with Yuneec which I would have to imagine the technicians would know how to connect the Intel Realsense onto the SOLO...
