Would it be possible to somehow wire a small 1 or 2 cell lipo (Idk how much voltage it would need) into Solo to keep the mother board, GPS and radio turned on between flights while you do a battery swap? This way, you wouldn't have to go back through the startup "waiting to hear from Solo" rigmarole and get right back to flying. There's a couple of ways this would work could work may, but probably won't work
1. Fish a small JST plug out somewhere inconspicuous and connect the battery before disconnecting the depleted one, leave it just long enough to put the SOLO battery in then disconnect it.
2. Semi-permanently wire it in and have an off switch for it when it's not needed, I think the regular battery would recharge it, or put in a USB charging port.
3. Insert better idea below
I don't guess that would really be a true "hot swap" but it's not far. Think of it like an alarm clock that runs on AC but also has a backup battery for power outages, except alarm clocks don't fly but that would be cool too. Or for my fellow shooters out there; tactical vs emergency reloads but with much less of an emergency....
