Todd Harper replied to Jack's discussion Turning FanBoys into FlameBoys in 3DR SOLO
"Jack,

When you first tried to place an order via 3DR's website, did you try reach out to them via email or chat about International shipping?"

Todd Harper replied to Todd Harper's discussion SOLO with Feiyu-Tech 3D MINI attached in 3DR SOLO
"While I have heard of that gimbal I have not used one personally so I have no experience for an opinion on it. If your good with modifying and soldering then it may be worth putting your time into. Remember though, it will void your warranty."

Todd Harper replied to Randy's discussion Copter-3.3 beta testing

"RPM,
Christian did a great write-up on the exact this topic for the IRIS+ a few months ago. He goes over the various situations of the FS's. Give it a read, most of the info can be applied to SOLO as well.…"

Todd Harper replied to Robert H Fraser's discussion Solo and Mission Planner? in 3DR SOLO
"Users can use any of the 3DR's programs however please read this before you venture that direction and understand what 3DR is saying in this quote.

Todd Harper replied to Gregg's discussion Newbie with a iris that loses power in IRIS
"Jim,
   The updates are critical so whenever a new one comes out, read about it and install it.
Calibrate your radio as well.
The powering down speed you noticed is normal. Since the IRIS+ had no props and did not lift off the ground it really has…"

Todd Harper replied to Jeff Treadway's discussion Jello and Altitude in IRIS
"Nick,
   The loss of altitude is not uncommon. Most, if not all, types of aircraft experience this. In order to keep the craft in flight at a constant altitude, the force of lift must balance the force due to gravity (weight of the craft). This…"

Todd Harper replied to Ray's discussion how to add a 4th flight mode in IRIS
"Ray,  the main difference is that in PosHold, the more you push the stick the greater the vehicle will tilt/pitch in that direction.
So for example if you move the stick forward a little, the vehicle will tilt/pitch forward a little, if you move the…"
