I posted this to my FB page to my NonDroneHead friends with a side note that I was convinced I chose the right machine but considering the Gooberments track record I am now second guessing my decision to fly a Solo. ;-) All kidding aside It has to make us all (OK, the overwhelming majority) feel good that we are part of the 3DR Family. I would hate to venture a guess on how much it cost the taxpayers to determine that Solo Rules! I'm sure it will be put to good use in future marketing campaigns. Heck all those $599 deals may dry up as well.
While I have your undivided attention, yeah right......To those of you that with some scratches on your props and have played with the 3DR Solo Simulator App for Droid. I realize that the app provides a no frills basic flying simulation as it was written to do. Can any of you comment on how authentic the app is to the actual flying experience? I got my RMA bird back today. I wasn't able to spin the props on the first one. I seemed to have picked up the simulated flying quickly before I had to return the bird and controller and wonder if I can expect the same when I finally get to push the Fly button? Going to Update, put my Gimbal back on, and upgrade the shield whislt I wait for the Batts to charge up. Wish me luck!
