"Sorry if I'm stating the obvious but...

The only other thing to remember is all antennas, especially higher gain ones, are directional.  The stock antennas are lower gain so they'll be less directional.  In a 3D graph the pattern looks like a…"

"I find with Orbit mode it's easiest to gain altitude above trees and other obstacles first.  Then you can fly freely to set the center point.

Once I'm above things I could crash into I just use the app's satellite map to set the center point.…"

"The very first Solo I purchased was DOA.  The controller never transmitted SoloLink so I was never able to connect the app or do any updates.  The one I have now is the one I exchanged my first one with.

I only say that because I think there could…"

"Anyone back in the office at 3DR support yet?  Sorry, just hate having a grounded quad :("

"It's not super obvious at first until you play around with the app a few times.

To change the orbit radius you set your center point first.  Then with the center set you can change the radius with the right stick.  Forward to decrease the radius,…"

"All depends on the surroundings.  I can fly 850' away at my job over open fields.  Due to RF congestion I can only fly about 250' away at my parents house.

The RSSI numbers are your best bet to watch.  I have never seen full bars in the app.  The…"

"Hi Ray,

Yup, posted a ticket.  I did remember seeing the support email or post saying that people were a little too quick to do a factory reset that's why I haven't tried yet.

It's odd, the controller, app, and Solo are all talking to each other…"

"Good stuff.  It's definitely a complex problem with lots of variables."

"Hi Gregg!

Nope, Solo has been great!  I have almost 5 hours on mine so far.  Free flying, Smart Shots, autonomous missions from Tower, all work awesome.  I have to say the software side of things is pretty amazing and easy.

Yesterday I was playing…"

"Currently no sonar or optical flow so if you want to fly indoors it's fully manual only."

"Very sweet!

I was thinking of building something like this but just using some Android and/or iOS devices to run Tower and the Solo app.  Basically the case would hold the devices and a sunshade, maybe antennas as well."

"I lost connection only 350' away on one of my flights Sunday with full line of sight.  I want to go further than that, ha ha.

Again, not trying to fly miles away, I just want more range than I'll ever use for reliability.  Even though Solo…"

"I've been waiting for Solo since NAB.  Anxiously waiting, ha ha.  The Smart Shots are what set it apart from the entire industry right now.  Compare it to anything you want and that's the trump card.  It also means that cool shots are within reach…"

"Ha ha, that's funny, my buddy who is a ham operator is the one who brought it up to me.  He would have purchased Solo already if it used different frequencies like Iris does.  It's not that much money to get the ham license so I would just do it and…"
