    How many crashes have you had.?

    My first crash happened while trying to circle around and through a goal post on a football field from a distance. I misguaged it and hit the post causing an awful clang. Solo dropped like a stone. Battery popped out but not a scratch on her. I figured at the time that was my one Mulligan...

    Lost GPS and CRASHED

    Yes. Just like others suggested, read the manual and upgrade gps. I've had great results with stock Rev B and MRos. But here is another tip. Do not attempt to take off on side of busy road or highway. Your video shows why it is dangerous especially when you have not read manual and are...

    Finally had it, looking for an attorney! No parts for Gimbals?

    I dont think its worth all this time and aggravation to argue no replacement parts either. As others have suggested, better for OP to buy new gimbal or sell all the extra parts and move on. Life is too short. However, OP's underlying premise, that drone sellers may be held liable for...

The press sensationalized this drone case and mixed up some facts but gist of story reported on local...

    The drone fly’s into a building then falls and knocks the woman unconscious and also cuts another bystander but the pilot still manages to fly the drone to Safeco. Actually, the drone struck two people and then fell to the ground where it was grabbed by a witness and held for the police. The...

    What do you think of this drone/multi-rotor accident ? 30 days jail + 5K fine

    Here are some news clips discussing a reckless endangerment case involving a child thrown off a bridge. Compare the statements of the two female witnesses. The close friend who is trying to help unwittingly does the most damage by saying the mother was anxious and tentative to permit her...

    Well Whirlygig Talked Me Into Mavic Pro

    Lon, I have to back you up on this. I did in fact suggest you buy a Mavic and let us know how it compares to Solo and Karma. However, I do not think I said insult people, stir up hornets nest, and get us kicked off internet. Gosh, Ive been waiting for you to quit digging so I could throw a...

    So I Bought Another Solo...

    Great! I'll be interested to hear how you like it and how she flies in the wind. Now you have three different owners manuals not to read! (I'm sorry but I could not resist).

    So I Bought Another Solo...

    I don't know. Arent you interested even a little bit in a Mavic? Smaller and more portable than solo or karma with a 4 mile range?

    So I Bought Another Solo...

    Lon, congrats that is one screaming deal! The humor in this is despite your complaints about solo, you always come back for more even when you have karma sidepiece!
