"I considered that option, but I have too much invested in my Iris+. Considering that, like the Iris+, the Solo does not include a gimbal, and I have a Tarot for my Iris+, that's nearly $400 that I have saved right there. I have 3 spare batteries for…"
"Just an update on the situation...
After corresponding with Enrique from 3DR, they have offered to either replace my Iris+, or provide a store credit for the purchase price should I decide to ourchase a new Iris+ from another vendor.

"I pulled the battery immediately after the incident, and put it on my balancer after taking a good look at it. In addition to there being no visible damage, it was still showing 3.76-3.77v in each cell. I was able to discharge it down to 10.8v, then…"
"The video is at the YouTube noted in my post, or you can check it out at http://diydrones.com/video/upinsmoke."
"Actually, at the end of the video, I was removing the battery, and it was fine. No indication at all of what it had just been through."
Don't get me wrong. This isn't intended to be a slight against 3DR in any way. I've never had anything but pleasant dealings with them. It's just a very interesting occurrence with my Iris+ from earlier today.After about 6 minutes of flying hard…
"No problem. I think I got the problem figured out. Unfortunately, it led to anothe rissue which was totally unexpected. I have posted that story under a new topic."
Does anyone know if there is a way to evaluate the performance of each individual motor through the logs which are created? It appears that I am getting more output from the rear motors than the front, particularly during take-off.I have calibrated…
"Kevin,
I'd really like to know what throttle parameters you ended up adjusting to resolve all your problems. I am having a similar issue."

"Not the solution, but thanks for the try. All I get is the lower case alphabet, digits, and some punctuation. I was able to figure it out, though, as I noted in my reply to Bill."
"Thanks for the reply Bill. Your suggestion got me to thinking about it, and I was able to figure it out. After you enter a lower case character, if you immediately press the left arrow, it will toggle the case to upper case for any characters…"
Hi Guys,I realize that this is a very elementary question to be asking in this forum, considering many of the highly technical posts I have viewed, but here goes...I adding a new configuration to the FrSky TH9X I received with my Iris+, I would like…
