    How to properly land manually?

    Yes, I only hand catch too; always did with my P2 as well. But I've always felt that grabbing hold of a leg would put too put strain on it; the quad is quite a weight and I'm always scared I'd break the leg off. I just reach up and catch the machine by the belly. Simples. See Colin Guinn's last...

    UK buyers

    I know that here in the UK we have had an expensive time getting our Sols and bits & bobs; especially in the light of the BB sales & bargains out there. Anyway, I've just bought my second Solo, spare battery and some other bits as pretty much a complete package through a company in "the UK"...

    3DR Solo: Past, Present and Future

    Just loved it. The cuts, the humour and [of course] the whole story. And anyone who keeps the bloopers in gets double votes too

    Solo 5 Bay Battery Charger.. Interested?

    Yes, here in Europe we loose out big time; exchange rates, shipping and customs. Having said that, it's a nice neat idea; but I'd be looking at something that "smart-charged" to the magic 50% for storage as an option. If only...:(

    My Solo vanished

    Well, this is all very fine AND confusing for use trying to wade through treacle [it seems. I know what I would like to see...where I've been and what I did. Also useful if the CAA [FAA] come a knocking at my door at 3 in the morning ;-D With my old P2, I had a Flytex Core, which gave you...

    DronePan for Solo First Field Test

    Nisouck : That is a superb piece of work. Although, to be fair, a wonderful job all round for everyone involved behind the scenes and the code.

    Stunning work all round. Dare we assume Solo ? But, whatever, I just wish I had the thought processes to even think about making a short like that.

    Free Ebook From 3dr

    Hmmm. Maybe it's a Limited Edition LOL Still awaiting for mine after two days now; not in spam, or downloads, or anywhere; but it has told me numerous times it's sent me an email. At one time I though it was a direct download onto the PC as it sat there rolling it's bar at me. Ho hum.. If...

    Exciting news for Solo owners...Sense and avoid

    It's kinda funny really. When I bought my P2 all that time ago, I was drawn in by ColinQ and his amazingly good instructional videos. In effect he sold me my first Quad. The fact he went off to 3DR shortly afterwards made my ears and eyes prick-up and brought Solo into my must have list. Trouble...

    Downloading Maps with the Solo App

    LarryF : Hi. What tablet are YOU using for best Solo and map caching ? and... How large an area will the map tile be ? Just as big as the screen defaults to, or if you pinch the map to get a bigger area, will that bigger area be cached instead. Many thanks in advance
