"Maybe I am doing something wrong, but it seems that APM planner does connect initially but then after about 10 seconds the telemetry fails and the HUD display in the Flight Data section does not reflect Solo orientation. Also in the Flight Plan…"
"If you are using USB3, this might be an issue. I had to connect via a USB2 hub to get my com ports to behave. But I was using Windows 7 and not 8."
"@hotelzululima -- thanks for the reminder. I have the phantom nuts and spare propellers so I will give this a try. But I am surprised that others aren't reporting under-powered IRIS+ flights in their logs. Is the high throttle considered normal with…"

"Thanks for the pointer. 3DR removed Stabilize as one of the standard flight modes for the IRIS+ and also for the upgraded IRIS. I guess I could put it back temporarily with Mission Planner to get the actual in-flight experience and then do the…"
"I just upgraded my IRIS to a an almost IRIS+ with the upgrade kit from 3DR and am running the almost released 3.2 software. Anyone have a suggestion for what I should set THR_MID to? I noticed during Alt-Hold and Loiter that it hovers with my…"
