"Cutting the throttle will command the Solo to descend at the maximum rate (PILOT_VELZ_MAX). If this rate is set too high the descent will become unstable - which can happen pretty quick.
I don't own a Solo, just a homemade Copter with Arducopter so…"

"Hi Eric,

from my point of view you panicked ;(

The magenta line shows the RC Input on channel 3 which should be the "Thrust" - it looks like you actively pulled it full down. You can see the yellow "RC out" fighting this command as you are in ALT…"

"Hi,
currently I am still using 3.1.5 but would like to change to 3.2 because of some features in mission planning i.e. Do_Change_Speed command.

"Hi Dirk,

unfortunately I cant compile the code as well.
I got lots of errors in the MAX7456 code. Libraries are include - still no success.

If you found a solution please write me some tips so I can "upgrade" my MinimOSD as well ;)
