I know some here were seeing or complaining about this.
Basically, the Solo would/could lose altitude if you were in very fast forward flight.
Here's a bug report:

Here's a post and some discussions about it:

Summary from the thread:
Further discussion was taken here:

I hope this is helpful to some of you. For me, I don't care to worry about very fast forward flight, the Solo is a camera ship to me.

Summary from the thread:
There have been discussions on software solutions but at heart, it's a frame issue. A frame that's built with the baro effect in mind does not suffer from this effect. An IRIS for example does not suffer from this because it has somewhat balanced air holes on the top and bottom. A Solo does suffer from the problem because it's a closed top with a large hole on the bottom for the gimbal.
If we want to discuss this item further could someone create a separate discussion and post a link?
