I think my Solo has a real want NOT to be a Solo and instead be as close to me/RC as possible. First flight a few days ago and had my first disconnect, Solo was 150 or so alt and 40/60 distance so could have been angle thing but I did not think it was likely based on everything I was witnessing. Out again this morning to try to sort it out and over two batteries I had no less than 5 RC disconnects. These were all over the place in terms of alt, and distance. One thing that I was able to quantify was that my Solo does not like to be more than 150 (200 feet was ok for a bit but 300 was the kiss of death) in alt before it get's home sick and wants to RTH (aka loose signal). Nearly every time 300 foot out and 300 or higher up and I can recreate the disconnect. This being my first Solo (NIB to boot) I'm not 100% if this is how the 3dr engineers designed or if this is just "MY" Solo. I have another NIB (bundle this time) coming mid week so will be able to compare two NIB back to back to see if mine is unique or if mine is status quo. I have a set of the Alpha's on the way as well to see if they can help this poor Solo break thru the glass ceiling (literally)
The good news is that my Solo likes to return home and on every occasion made it's way back to launch point where I was each time able to regain control. I'm flying on the top of a large mountain so this is not an issue but would not want to be in a more urban env as it would likely end up running into something.
