By now we have 2 hours of flight testing, including all the autonomous modes in the Solo app -- Selfie, Orbit, Cable, Follow. All modes worked flawlessly, as did auto takeoff, auto land, RTH.We have done some preliminary tests with the survey…
"In further flight testing yesterday, we achieved 15 minutes duration in maneuvering flight, landing shortly after receiving the low battery warning at 25% power remaining. Conditions: calm wind, air temp 26 dC, battery temp immediately after flight…"
