I've been reading the posts on this forum for several weeks now and I must say it is super valuable for new pilots. There are some very smart people here and I've learned a lot. My concern is our legal liability if something goes wrong. Solo is kind of a tank. It has a lot of mass. At terminal velocity it will pack quite a punch. I'm not an attorney but I am an owner of a risk management company and my opinion is we've got a boat load of risk flying this puppy around objects or living things. If you are the pilot you are strictly liable for anything Solo does unless you can prove the problem was cause by the manufacturer. I think it's a real pickle. And I don't think 3dr will come rushing to our defense. Personally, I am not modifying Solo in any way so I don't have that liability. I'm also only flying Solo where I can see it at all times so I can testify in court that it did not leave my sight. I'm not flying over people. For now, I'm only using Solo within the parameters set by 3dr because that's the safest legal place to be. I know this sounds so restrictive but I see a big dollar liability suit in some pilots future with the way some are using this machine. I would be very careful fellow pilots and if you have questions or doubts, I encourage you to contact your legal council. I have.
