    Had a crash tonight...and the Solo is lost

    Well tonight I took my Solo out for a nice flight to capture a great looking sunset. I was flying around this old trestle train bridge(it crosses a river) which looked great with the sun shining through. About mid flight I decided to fly through the bridge a little bit. Shortly after this the...

    Disarm mid flight

    My solo has now disarmed itself 3 times mid-flight, while on auto mode. The first time I managed to save it by boosting the throttle (I suspect this happened because Solo was close), 2nd and 3rd time not so lucky... Battery connection, GPS, Compass cali, telemetry, all in order during these...

I pushed her too far on the battery, brought her down manually because we were in Follow mode. passing through 15% battery, I brought her down into my hand and throttled down, she didn't recognize this "Landing" as I continued to throttle down and panic...

    Learn from my mistake (Refresh Your Batts) Epic Crash

    Please learn from my mistake. Do NOT fly the Solo after a couple of weeks of going without flying. We had been traveling and I was unable to fly. Getting back home I was itching to get back in the air. I started with 57% battery so I figured I'd get about 8 minutes in the air. After getting...

    Crashed My Solo

    Hi guys! Messed up today... I was going to fly my solo and in takeoff I smashed into a wall. It just falled like 2 meters from the sky so the fall didn't broke anything. The problem is that it still went full throttle like in takeoff on the ground. So it broken all the 4 proppellers and I...

    Solo Crashed Itself

    Hey 3DR pilots, This is my first post and unfortunately its not a great one. I was having some trouble with my gimbal, it was not responding to the camera control angle well. Every time I tried to manually adjust the camera angle it got stuck facing 45 degrees downward. After lots of searching...

    Crashing to the Ground again and again

    I was flying my Solo in a giant open field. It is actually a private airstrip and I had received owner permission. When the quad was about 100-150 feet away at an altitude of 50 feet I lost the link. She did just what she should have. She climbed to 100 feet and returned home. During the...

    Gimbal strength.

    Hey all, So I finally purchased a gimble! One step at a time. Anyway, I'm curious as it's inevitable that a crash will likely happen, those of you who've been through this already with their 3dr; how resilient is it to wrecks? While I'm sure this depends on how hard it crashes, how...
