    I think we need @P2P for this one... I was flying a very reliable Solo the other day using Tower on a mission, battery is relatively new to service with only 10-15 flights. Shortly after reaching 50m and heading to the next waypoint at 10m/s, Tower said "battery at -1%". And something just...

    Elongated structure scan

    Anybody have a suggestion for using Solo and Tower (or MP) to create point cloud of a series of utility poles? Something like Tower's Structure scan would work, except the the 'structure' is long and narrow, something like 30' x 200', so an orbit needs to be elliptical rather than round. Is...

    Altitude loss in circular orbit?

    anyone else experience altitude loss when flying a large orbit? Orbits are in the range of 50m or 100m radius. I have flown a few Tower orbits and have seen the Solo lose altitude in a few of them. Note that Tower does properly show the altitude as it is descending, so it is not the case that...

But I thought I would delve a little deeper and use the way points offered in Tower. I noticed that the control is very nice, however you lose the function the solo app provides...
