Rob J replied to Eduardo Romero's discussion Did solo update 2.3.0-1 include the "boat mode" update? in 3DR SOLO
"It is a mode that will be in a new update that should be soon...but right now, it is only available to those who are beta testing this new update.  So, you will have to still wait awhile, but shouldn't be too long now."

Rob J replied to Ryan Szemplinski's discussion Are there ways to turn off all the failsafes in 3DR drones?
"You can use Mission Planner or Tower.  These will give you access to the parameters...and then it is just a matter of setting the disable option and then uploading the changed parameter file.  You can not really provided much information as to your…"

Rob J replied to Nick's discussion New Solo user in 3DR SOLO
"Sounds like that might be the best choice for you."

Rob J replied to Thorsten's discussion Solo specs and ecalc in 3DR SOLO
"I believe that 3DR will say that their claims are based on virtually perfect conditions such as "at sea level", "temperature 70 degrees", "standard atmospheric pressure", "zero winds", etc.  Wouldn't surprise me if their testing were in a wind…"

Rob J replied to Roger Sollenberger's discussion Solo is compatible with Tower! in 3DR SOLO
"So, if you, for example, simply changed the RTL height, and then used RTL, but then had the unrelated GPS glitch, you would deny the warranty claim?  Your scenario discusses the GPS glitch WITHOUT ever engaging the RTL...but not an "unrelated" GPS…"

Rob J replied to Eric Compas's discussion Extend life of Solo's temporary shipping case? in 3DR SOLO
"I already fiberglassed mine.  Turned out pretty well.  Maybe not super pretty, but it is MUCH more durable.  I don't think I can stand on it, but it will stand up to just routine handling very nicely.  I think I will throw some spray paint on it and…"

Rob J replied to Roger Sollenberger's discussion Solo is compatible with Tower! in 3DR SOLO
"Thank you Roger (and 3DR)...I have been with 3DR since the Iris developer model introduction and consider myself "capable" but not "proficient".  I never had trouble using Tower with my Iris, but really never made changes to other than the more…"

Rob J replied to Eric Sheehan's discussion Orbit Radius in 3DR SOLO
"+1 to what Rich said.  Watch the screen on your Solo app...you will see the orbit radius changing while using the right stick...but you must first set the orbit's center point.  When you said you saw the Solo moving, just understand that ANY…"

Rob J replied to Kelly Schrock's discussion Solo Log files: How to read them in 3DR SOLO
"I assume you are looking for more than just using the Solo app to send them to you rather than to 3DR?  I know you can go thru the motions as if you are opening a trouble ticket, but then replacing 3DRs email with your own.  Won't that give you the…"

Rob J replied to Gregg's discussion Yes or no to Solo in 3DR SOLO
"I started on quads with the developer Iris model...and then there were two Iris+ (upgraded models)...and now, added the Solo on 6/15.  It is one VERY awesome machine.  I haven't flown any DJI product, so won't try to make any comparisons...but, the…"

Rob J replied to Mike Muscroft's discussion iOS Apps in 3DR SOLO
"Here was the response I got from the folks at Fighting Walrus:  
"...will keep you updated, we are looking at the SOLO and how to be compatible with it.  It is fundamentally different in that uses WIFI for the main datalink and video link instead of…"

Rob J replied to Eric Sheehan's discussion Solo Flight Simulator? in 3DR SOLO
"The word in other groups is that the simulator is a planned update/addition that will be offered down the line...this is from some well-placed (but non-3DR) persons.  I have every reason to believe we will see this at some point...the when is up in…"

Rob J replied to Mike Muscroft's discussion iOS Apps in 3DR SOLO
"Fighting walrus (www.fightingwalrus.com) is used by some with the Iris and Iris+ and iOS.  They do not yet indicate compatibility with Solo, but I have asked them for information if they have yet tested it.  I will report what (if anything) they…"

"Oh, something worth mentioning:  If you go to the post office and get a change of address "kit", it comes with a 10% coupon for Best Buy.  Most who have purchased at Best Buy (including myself), have been allowed to use the coupon.  A couple have…"

"Brad Roekle:  Well, can't say yet.  I was out to 1000 feet and had absolutely ZERO evidence of any signal loss.  Perfect video feed, both visually, and in reviewing the video captured on my iPhone.  However, I did not even look at the signal…"

"Got mine from Best Buy on the 15th.  I never could get it get a GPS lock and kept being told I had a "level error", but I couldn't perform a level calibration.  3DR tech tried helping, but then, on the 17th, I received my online order that was…"
