    I need to build a charger to recharge the controller battery in the field. In contrast to the flight battery charger (being a CC/CV charger) I couldn't find any conclusive information on the controller charger. Does anyone have any indication that the controller charger is something else than a...

    Solo controller mobile holder

    The swivel tightening ring broke, I guess I adjusted it too tight. Any 3rd party replacements? It seems that the ball is 20mm or 0.78", and the tightening ring is 30mm in diameter. Found 17mm and 22mm rings online but no luck for this one so far.

    Using Channel 7 and 8

    Hi all, I can't see the Solo using Channels 7 or 8 for anything. Does anyone know of a way to map buttons on the controller to these channels? Best case scenario would be one channel where neutral is 1500, the Angle Preset 1 button bumps it to 1900 when pushed, and Angle Preset 2 drops it to...

    My iPhone 6 Plus will not detect the solo controller

    I'm firing up my Solo and controller for the very first time. I have the latest version of software installed. But when I turn on the controller, Solo is not detected in my phone's Bluetooth settings. It simply will not detect the controller. What am I doing wrong?

    Solo Controller Battery Charger

    I have lost the charger for the controller. Luckily it's in a really convenient voltage: 8.3v @ 1.5amps I am wondering: 1) Can you use 9v? I know it's not made for that but could you? Would bad things happen? 2) Why such an odd voltage? Proprietary chargers or is there a engineering reason...

    I had a bad controller radio and didn't know it

    (Sorry for the long-winded post, but I prefer to be thorough) I’ve recently received my Solo back from a long stint at 3DR headquarters in San Diego. It had an issue that I haven’t seen mentioned before, so I thought that I’d post about it just in case it helps someone. If anyone has this...
