Don't worry about It, I'm used to hearing about the Doom & Gloom of Solo from Newbi's, but when PDXsteve saying the way he said it, well, made me think it might be true, hence my tear jerking response..Well, that reply was directed to SteveReno regarding believing everything you read on the Internet - you just happened to be the person he was quoting at the time and you did sound pretty gloomy. I simply seem to take Internet scuttlebutt with a grain of salt. I'm still trying to trace a (confirmed) source of Solo production, and whether or not there still is any production. The two Solo 'runs' with Rev A and Rev B may have been Mexico - China; it's a mystery.
But even though I haven't been here at 3DRPilots too long, I've been looking at drones (Phantom. Walkera) for ~4 yrs and 3DR since before they were on the market. And I read those (several) market reports with excerpts from Anderson's interview - and still bought my first Solo... and then my 2nd and 3rd, so I don't seem too worried. Of course, my purchasing strategy here may be like that of my stock market strategy - buy high, sell low. But I ain't selling (in spite of the oft-gloomy outlook) - I'm flying and tinkering; not necessarily in that order.
Sorry Steve, my comments were not directed to you as a purveyor of any specific misinformation, but a general reply to warn against believing everything one reads on the Webz.
Exactly... look at the franken-cars in Cuba...the good news is, with the ph2 development going full steam.

Thanks for that Solex demo. Looks interesting. Do you know if he has fixed the selfie mode yet?
thanks for this, have not been able to fly this yet so it was fun to watchThanks for that Solex demo. Looks interesting. Do you know if he has fixed the selfie mode yet?
Yes, Tower was approved long ago. Whether you choose to use this new app is up to you. Just remember that all commands sent to the Solo in flight come through the controller last. So whether you are using an app or none at all, it's still coming from the controller and the logs do not (yet) distinguish the origin. Solex is not sending anything new that Tower, MP or the 3DR app is not. Solo can crash just as easy with no app at all, and the problems of late are due to problems in Solo FW and not any particular app.I just chatted with 3DR asking if there is an incident while flying with Solex if the Solo would be covered by Warranty.
Their answer is that it would not be covered by warranty if using a third party app. That said, that also excludes Tower doesn't it? I thought someone had posted that they were ok with using Tower?
I asked about the latest version of SW. He told me it might be ready this week.

That's good to know. I was thinking that there would be some sort of PID in there somewhere stating which app was being used.Yes, Tower was approved long ago.

warranty for some of us has pasted, a long time ago.I just chatted with 3DR asking if there is an incident while flying with Solex if the Solo would be covered by Warranty.

He is researching it at the present time. But i wouldn't expect anything soon.Any word on if the developer is going to do an IOS version?
Continued bug fixes, yes, very slowly. Continued development, as in new features or upgrades, no.True. Do you think that we will see continued development on the 3DR Solo app?
