When you clear waypoints from Tower for android, and tap on the three dots in the upper right of the Editor screen and tap (Import from file.) The mission is still stored there. How do you delete this from your device not from the drone?Well clearing all waypoints is deleting the mission.
If you want you mean is that you want to delete the mission off of the Solo, then you have two options:
1. Clear all waypoints in Tower and then upload what is now a blank mission to the Solo.
2. Switch to Acro mode and fly your Solo at full speed into a brick wall.

Got it. Delete from phone/tablet, not drone.When you clear waypoints from Tower for android, and tap on the three dots in the upper right of the Editor screen and tap (Import from file.) The mission is still stored there. How do you delete this from your device not from the drone?
How do you get into the Tower Waypoint folder to delete these files. I'm new to android platform.If you are tapping "Import from Device" and are seeing some files, they are files that are stored on your Android (you can save multiple mission files). By default, they are on your Device Storage (not your SD Card) in the "Tower/Waypoints" folder.
If you are just wanting to clear waypoints from your drone, erikgraham was correct -- all you need to do is clear waypoints from your current tower mission and then upload that to your drone.
Connect to Mac or PC, or download one of the many free Android file managers (if it doesn't have one on it already)How do you get into the Tower Waypoint folder to delete these files. I'm new to android platform.
I believe all android systems have a file manager of some sorts.... look in your available apps. My waypoint files were located in the following directory....sdcard/tower/waypointsHow do you get into the Tower Waypoint folder to delete these files. I'm new to android platform.
There should be an app in Apps named something like My Files or File Manager...I believe all android systems have a file manager of some sorts.... look in your available apps. My waypoint files were located in the following directory....sdcard/tower/waypoints
Good question, David. I've flown "rabbit" speed (max from Solo app) in Tower many times with no altitude issue but never bumped up the speed in Tower to its max - I might run that test later today.Anyone have any experience with the "Change Speed" feature in the beta? Curious as to whether you can fly max speed between 2 WP's (55mph) and also not lose ALT!!
As for speed, not interested in max speed, just curious. Speed kills..
THIRD TOWER TIDBIT - Will Solo lose altitude when flying a fast Tower Mission?
I suspect that Solo, flying a pre-programmed mission, places a priority on maintaining altitude rather than reaching the maximum speed I had asked for.
Droidplanner (the precursor to Tower) was always metric. I got used to it and have never switched to imperial, but I assumed it was possible. Maybe not if your editing Params. Remember when that probe crashed on Mars a few years back and the problem turned out to be a goof up in the code somewhere converting from metric to imperial? If NASA and the European Space Agency can make such a rookie mistake, I can see it cropping up in Mission Planner, Tower, Solo App, or any other GS software we might use. I'm sticking with metric for drone related stuff - just to be safe.Interesting. The units are in Meters/Sec. I did a conversion but only up to 25m/s (55mph)

Approx 35mph is more than enough for what I would like to do and I am enjoying Tower flights more and more as I get into the details. I also recently had a Piper Cub/tail dragger type, open doors fly right over my house as I was setting up for a flight at I estimated 350', could've been less at about 70mph. Sending SOLO miles away at 400' is taking a huge chance and a real possibility of killing someone or more. If I would have hit that guy head on chances are he was going down. I don't/wont fly out of LOS anymore.
Good job on the test!! I learned something.
So no run 4 with the wind. To bad.
On a separate note, we should all start reporting planes flying under 500 feet. It's unsafe and it's against FAA rules. Turn the tables on all these pilots who want us out of "their sky" but who flaut the rules themselves - with much greater potential damage and

I get small Cessna aircraft flying over my neighborhood in Deltona Florida and I'm pretty sure they're under 400' high. I had to bring my solo down and put it away one day. Just too close for comfort. I'm about 8 miles away from Sanford Airport. Also, one day I had a helicopter that wasn't more than 200' high flying over the neighborhood too. (I was not flying my Solo that day) He did 2 passes. It wasn't police or care flight. I couldn't identify it, but it was a pretty nice helicopter. The tail rotor was shrouded . Maybe I should start reporting.
I think the quote part there is something I thought I deleted. I changed my mind to a stance of "let's just stay out of there way"... especially if you are only 8 miles from an airport.
