My brother attempted a ground scan mission using Tower the other day. After gaining satellite lock, he launched the Solo but he noticed at that point his tablet kept indicating the Solo app was connected/disconnected/connect/... Part of his pre-flight is to double-check only 1 app is running at a time so he's sure the Solo app wasn't running beforehand.

Well his Solo "wobbled" as it took off in a direction without any input from him (apart from Fly). He was able to wrest partial control and persuade his Solo back toward him but it was still mostly uncontrollable. Out of instinct, he pressed Pause, at which point the Solo flipped upside down, forcing itself to ground. However it would not disarm until he turned the controller off.

Is there a way to force the Solo app to not automatically launch (not 3DR Service... we get that's needed for Tower to communicate with Solo)? Is there something else we should investigate?

Thank you!

Tower 4.0.0 no longer requires 3DR Services--remove it.
