Common wisdom seems to be that you shouldn't fly if the KP index is greater than 7.
I'll admit to hardly ever checking unless GPS seems erratic. I'm curious what other think here.
For all the new Solo owners post Christmas, I thought it might be worthwhile to alert them to the KP index. Below is a link with some info, but basically it's geomagnetic interference that can screw with your Solo's GPS and compass, making it difficult (or dangerous) to fly.
