Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

"I downloaded this sim and tried it out. It is a great start for beginners and slightly more seasoned flyers. I think it will help new users of solo to get used to the controls. I would love to see this evolve into a complete simulator with all…"
"So am I missing something here? I do not see any update in the app store for IOS. I checked yesterday and today. Was there a problem with the release?"
"Rick,

"Since you purchased the X8+ RTF I assume it was all set up and tuned/configured when you got it that is why your initial manual flight went well. I am only speculating here but when you installed mission planner and updated the firmware and config…"
