Flight simulator for solo

Read more…Solo smart battery % at end of flight
How low are you guys draining your battery per flight?
I have been testing it slowly, 20%...8% etc...
What I am wondering is if this smart drone will leave enough juice to return home based on how far away it is from that location?
I have been hitting t
Read more…3DR Solo Pricing
The local authorised Australian distributors have been announced along with a pricing which almost left me with my jaw hitting the floor. Based on pre orders the local Solo will be priced around $1800 AUS, this appears to be really expensive even whe
Read more…Are you grounded for lack of parts?
Since it appears that 3DR will not honor the 30 day money back guarantee, it occurs to me that maybe my loss can benefit some of the others in the same spot I found myself in - unable to fly and no replacement parts available.
At the time of this pos
Tower and Solo gopro geotagging
Since no images are geotagged during flight how can I do that. I want to be able to use pix4d to process images. If someone has step by step instructions that would be very helpful.
Read more…Solo lost controller 'RC' communnications when nearby, strange glitches in logs, what do they mean?
So my Solo lost communications with the controller when it was close by on the return path of executing an automated Selfi.
The strange thing was that communications was perfect at the start, and through 90% of the Selfi as it flew up and away to its

- Spray painting ($)
- Covering with two-part epoxy ($$)
- StyroCoat ($$) (link)

HELP ! First time update failed. Stuck with only Controler at 1.0.5 nothing on Solo
Hello,
I received my Solo the other day. Something I believe went wrong during the first time upgrade.
My controller now shows the version on the controller as 1.0.5 and nothing on the Solo itself?
Now it just sits for ever showing "Waiting for Solo" w
Read more…Has anyone been successful in getting 3DR to honor their money back guarantee?
I think I am past dissatisfaction and have no reason to expect that they will honor this either.
I would like to know if anyone has had success in actually returning a Solo...

I’m new at this. I just built a HK S500 quad copter and I’m trying to install APM Mission Planner 2.017 to HK Pilot 2.7. I no longer can find “APM GPS with external compass” in Initial Set Up so I used “APM with 3DR GPS/Compass”. When I did “Live

Just a heads up for landing procedures -- when 3DR says a level take-off and landing location, they mean it.
Was on a site with very little level ground and was pushing the limits on where the Solo would take off and land. I took off from one location

I've been flying SOLO for about 3 weeks and being a long time APM user decided to take a look at the logs and run Auto-Analyze on a couple and I noticed a warning that the Mag Field Offset is reported as high. Previous versions of APM allowed

I must be missing something, how do you adjust the orbit shot radius (iOS)?
I can see the manual says use the right stick, at what point in flight or shot setup? Can you lower the radius to less than 65 feet? When I move the right stick up or down, do

Updated and took Solo out to fly yesterday evening. Was surprised to all of a sudden see flashing red lights and signal loss - no control. Waited and finally Solo initiated a RTH. Tested again and got this photo.

Flew yesterday with the 1.0.5 update. All's well (haven't seen the GPS problems so far, even pre-update), but I lost the video feed from my GoPro (Hero 4 Silver). Black screen only in the Android app.
Anyone had the same problem? Found a fix?
Thanks,
Er
