Does 3DR have a presence here in this forum? I just don't understand why so many are against adding or altering a feature that may even save them if they are off their game one day something happens and they forced into a situation like mine. I really see great potential in Solo. I told myself a few years ago I would never buy a phantom. They just seemed like toys compared to what we were working with at the time. This is my only problem with the Solo. I'm not even really upset I had to upgrade antennas to get the range they said I'd get stock. I bought them with no problem. I'm not trying to get 3DR to accommodate my every wish. But this one thing could help avoid crashes for both new and experienced pilots. Thought people would be all onboard. I was upset when I wrote the first post. 3DR finally said they'd cover 15% of parts but it will take a month or two to get the bird back. I'm not even asking for a new gimbal. The place i bought this from shipped me 2 gimbals for some reason so i have a spare. I already mended the body crack and did a test hover. Seemed ok. I took it to 200 feet and stretched it's legs a bit going 20 mph and making it work to see if the repair would hold up. All seems good and no problems. Pretty amazing really for such a hard hit. I just asked if they could send the body to me at a 15% discount and I'll replace it myself. Now they aren't even replying back. I don't want to wait months for the turn around. I'll probably just get a replacement body from B&H or some place. But I bet if there is a flyaway they will reference my old claim and say that since they didn't put the body on themselves that they can't cover a fly away. Even if it's months from now with perfect flights in between. Hopefully I never find out. I might even test the fly button disengage RTH at 10% with fly manual at the ready. This time I will take off from my driveway where I always do without anybody around just like usual. Now that I know that it's an option I'd rather test it than just hope really hard that it works.
What you are missing is we dont want 3DR to change it.
We understand how it is supposed to work, and it does.
If you change it because someone just dont like it, then those of us who have learned to operate it as is have to learn your way.
Maybe the win win is make it configurable so people could use the default or change it to their preference... oh wait they do that already
If yours is not working the way it is described then that is a support issue and maybe yours is faulty
what did support say?
