With a prop, these can reverse which is not that useful with a solo but cool

It sure as hell is useful ! Now I can fly the damned thing inverted for those times when I want the gimbal working ABOVE the horizon.

I'm not kidding.

You better think of another prop option other than ST's....

I think I could probably whip up some prop retainers that clip to the motor 'cage'. Or just drill a micro fine hole and wire them on.

Something to think about anyway....

You really should not need reverse on a solo. It's mostly for fixed wing. I think

Active braking comes to mind...but again is easy to resolve with proper motors and props. Very interesting regardless.

did you see the pictures of the tiny new optical flow that is in the works
that thing is tiny, surface mounted board that is smaller than the solo link bump in length and about half inch wide

This is where my previous comment was intended to be. Sigh. Posting before caffeine is a bad idea.
